Why Hebrews We Need To Embrace Their Ministry

837 Words4 Pages

As Christians it is our job to go out and reach people; the broken and the lost. We are taught this in sermons and discipleship classes directly but also sub conscience through youth groups when we receive extra prizes for ourselves and any first time friends we bring along with us. This is a mission of the Church given to us directly from Christ. But there is an aspect of the Church that is over looked when we set out on these church growing ambitions. We are called to be apart of a local church. Many focus on reaching out to others but neglect there own faith which only weakens their ministry. “Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews …show more content…

We need to focus our prayers on the leaders of the church are able to discern how much of an out reach program there will be and how much on growing and building those who have been in the church for years. There also needs to be a great focus on prayer in the church among the leaders and the people for those in the church who are struggling with anything from stress to a life threatening illness. Prayer for those who will be the next generation of the church; children and new church comers. Prayers bring the church closer …show more content…

The Church as a whole reaches more people and has the most resources possible. The Church as a whole also has the most diverse group of people so can reach the different people groups much better than a local church traveling to a new land. The locals of that area are already immersed in the community and know the dos and donts of that culture. The Church needs to support the smaller churches finically and emotionally. Churches need to pray for the Church. There is often a divide in the church for differing opinions of various issues of the world. A great one right now is Syrian refuges, though they are a different religion than Christians they are still God’s people who need a safe place to escape the terrors of their own country. But many are scared for their safety because of the potential threat that may come with allowing Syrian refuges into their

Howard Schultz The Liberal Donald Trump Summary

619 Words | 3 Pages

In the article “Is Starbucks’s Howard Schultz the Liberal Donald Trump” the author does a remarkable job of using rhetorical tools and skills in order to help convince the audience. Many different techniques are used in the article in order to get the audience to believe that Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, is in fact a great fit for presidential candidate. The author, David Graham, makes it seem as if he himself studied under both Aristotle and Cicero by using many examples of their methods very effectively. He uses inductive and deductive logic, along with code words such as “venti” that only avid coffee drinkers and Starbucks enthusiasts will know. All three arguments, ethos pathos, and logos are used in order to make Graham’s essay optimal and very persuasive, along with skills that make this article a prodigious example of clever rhetoric executed by the author.

In the 1870s a movement called Social Gospel appeared. Walter Rauschenbusch, Charles Sheldon, and Washington Gladden, were all Protestant Ministers that led this movement to fight against social injustices. They believed that helping others was the way to salvation and true Christians should live their life through the thinking of “What would Jesus do?”. Even those not led by religion began to believe that they should help others. An example of this is the 700,000 subscribers to a newspaper titled Appeal to Reason.

Book Review Of Primary Goal By Dr. Crabb

1949 Words | 8 Pages

SUMMARY Primary Goal (What is the desired outcome?) Dr. Crabb shares the main goal of his book is to serve the believer to first strengthen his personal relationship with Christ. The goal for any Christian counsel should be to help their client to climb the tree to a high level of Christian maturity. Furthermore, Dr. Crabb uses a scripture in (Hebrews 13:15 NIV) that we are told that the missionary post of all priests is a twofold purpose (Crabb, pg. 23). The first purpose expressed by Dr. Crabb is that priests should offer a sacrifice of worship to God.

How To Read Alton Garrison's Book, A Spirit-Empowered Church

1169 Words | 5 Pages

He needs to make sure that he is discipling a team to help him in Spirit-empowered ministry, and even more, that he is discipling his congregation to do Spirit-empowered ministry. Garrison strongly emphasizes in his book that the congregation of believers must be involved in ministry as well. He talks about how the spiritually appointed offices of five-fold ministry were implemented to help equip the saints for ministry. The author shares that in his first few months of pastoring, he preached messages that taught the people at his church that they were the royal priesthood. He says, “We are all priests, and priests don’t come to the temple to be blessed—they come to minister” (Garrison 48-49).

Ethos Pathos And Logos By Reid And Hogan

They preach a form of Christianity that appears as Bonhoeffer would call “cheap grace”; therefore the congregation is not challenged to grow in their faith, which in the end weakens their faith. It becomes “a path of least resistance to become a pander bear with our theological substances as well as our use of stories.” (55) In my own preaching, I need remember it is not about me meeting people’s needs; it about my cooperation with the Holy Spirit to allow God’s Word to meet their people’s needs. This means that some Sundays people will go home challenged and possibly angry, but if the sermon transforms people’s heart into a better direction then I have done my job.

Civil Rights Activists: Eleanor Roosevelt

Following conflicts in countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, the latest estimates say that 1 in 100 of the world’s population displaced, with a substantial amount of these people being refugees. Whether forced by war, poverty, or political reasons to leave their homelands, these refugees are looking to the West, particularly Europe and America, for shelter and are being reluctantly accepted. Here in America, historically and even today, majority of the native population has been against the idea of welcoming refugees (Connor and Krogstad). While majority of Americans have opposed the “Muslim ban,” that does not mean religion is not a reason why people would reject refugees. With nearly half of the refugees being self-reported Muslims and 62 percent of American citizens citing Islamic terrorism as the greatest problem the country faces, it would not be a stretch to say that those who oppose accepting refugees maybe fearful of refugees because of their religious beliefs (Bowman).

Martin Luther King: The Dehumanization Of Syrian Refugees

826 Words | 4 Pages

Human beings are obligated to treat other human beings with respect and kindness. When they aren’t fulfilling their duties as human beings, it is also a person’s duty to stand up for each other and keep peace, morality, and humanity at the center of life. Syrian refugees are the unfortunate group of people that have been affected by the negligence of humankind. They are being dehumanized by their own people and by treatment that has no excuse or justification to be executed. The same crisis that is taking place in the middle east can happen anywhere at anytime, all it takes is corruption and humanity’s inherently evil nature to dismantle moral civilization.

Sermon-based small groups work because they are focused on linear programs and relationships.

Richard Baxter The Reformed Pastor Analysis

3:16-17). Baxter correctly highlighted the primary duty of minister in correcting those disobedience or rebellious flock – “To bring your people to submit to this course of private catechizing or instruction; for, if they will not come to you, or allow you to come to them, what good can they receive?” However, when we look at today’s congregation, especially old believers, their mindset had changed – though at the beginning of salvation, they humbly followed all the minister’s instructions diligently for their soul’s healing, but after sometimes, they hardened their heart to any kind of pastoral treatment as though they are superior than their shepherd. They will not come to us and will not allow us to come to
