by Dave HarveyA vision of church partnerships that will elevate churches to greater gospel fruitfulness and enable them to thrive.Networked churches are the primary church planting force in evangelicalism today—but what makes them so effective, why do they remain so under-appreciated, and what are the common pitfalls that can ensnare them?I Stronger Together, veteran church planter and pastor Dave Harvey draws from his experiences and study of networks to walk Christian institutions, church leaders, and planters through tested strategies for starting and sustaining healthy and biblical church partnerships.By focusing on key virtues and shedding light on the pitfalls that oppose them, Harvey unpacks seven dichotomies that offer a practical roadmap to healthy patterns:Conviction vs. consumerismGifted leadership vs. isolationismCollaboration vs. radical individualismRenewal dynamics vs. institutionalismA kingdom mindset vs. tribalismHumility vs. egotismModesty vs. triumphalismWhen churches are vitally connected to other churches, they thrive, multiply, and last longer.

The End of the Age Study Guide: The Countdown Has Begun
by John HageeThere seems to be a particular urgency in the prophetic doom-saying of our modern world . . . a greater sense of somberness. Perhaps this is because end-of-the-world scenarios have gone from Hollywood fodder to real life. Rather than feeling farfetched, the end of the world now seems almost a given for most people. A matter of when rather than if.In The End of the Age, New York Times bestselling author and pastor John Hagee uses Scripture as a guide to count down the prophetic events that must occur before that moment when every person must face God on Judgment Day. The pages of God's Word offer a window into the end of history—what Scripture calls "the end of the age" (Matthew 13:49).The goal of this study is to look through that window together—not necessarily to make specific predictions about people and places, but to gain wisdom and perspective from the Author of history. In the process, we will see what God has in store for the future so that we can remain ready, speak boldly, and live faithfully to the end.Lessons:11:50 PM: The End of the Age11:51 PM: Messiah the Prince Enters Jerusalem11:52 PM: And Knowledge Shall Increase11:53 PM: The Great Escape11:54 PM: Russia Invades Israel11:55 PM: The Time of Tribulation Begins11:56 PM: For Then Shall Come Great Tribulation11:57 PM: Inching Toward Armageddon11:58 PM: The Millennium Dawns11:59 PM: The Earth&’s Final ConflictMIDNIGHT: Great White ThroneETERNITY: Heaven and Earth Reborn!

The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood: How God's Word Consistently Affirms Gender Equality
by Philip Barton PayneA biblical defense of egalitarianism that relies on Scripture to affirm gender equality in the church and in the home."Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official priests were male, most authors of Scripture were male, Jesus was male and chose twelve male Apostles. God is addressed as Father. Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands.In The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood, New Testament scholar Philip B. Payne argues that the very Bible passages that are often believed to teach male headship and female subordination actually teach gender equality. He demonstrates that the Bible does not endorse gender hierarchy but instead emphasizes:The Holy Spirit gifting all believers for ministryThe oneness of the body of Christ (the church) and the priesthood of all believersHumility, service, and mutual submission required of all believersFreedom and willingness to relinquish freedom in order to spread the gospelThese concepts are examined in 14 Bible passages throughout the Old and New Testaments, using careful exploration of Greek and Hebrew word meanings, historical and cultural context, and examples from Scripture. Payne defends his position by providing detailed answers to common objections at the end of each chapter.The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood is for those struggling to reconcile the Bible's seemingly contradictory teachings about man and woman. Readers will come away with greater confidence in the reliability of Scripture's consistent, harmonious message of gender equality.
