Spiritual Church

A journey of the soul through the map of Christian time. The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ. What may at first seem to be simply...

Pastor Tommy walks us through Nehemiah’s story of rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls as he shares the seemingly impossible journey of his church rebuilding an abandoned Toys R’ Us building in a crumbling community. In every crisis, there are rebuilding opportunities! This story will encourage and inspire you to pursue God’s rebuilding work in your life, your church, and our post-pandemic world.

In Revelation to Victory, Dr. Tim Gregory reveals how to rise above your greatest challenges and walk in the strength of God’s promises. This is more than a book—it’s a roadmap to transformation. Whether you are facing financial burdens, emotional battles, broken relationships, or simply the exhaustion of life’s daily demands, Revelation to Victory will show you that you don’t have to fight alone and you don’t have to lose.

When Jesus spoke the "Blessed are . . ." Beatitudes, He didn't say they were a formula for happiness or the keys to the kingdom. Instead, they were a declaration from God about believers despite our weaknesses and failures. The Christian life is not up and to the right but a lifelong series of...

Jesús le dio un mandamiento a sus seguidores: “Síganme” Y una promesa: “Yo los equiparé para encontrar a otros para que me sigan.” Fuimos hechos para hacer discípulos. Diseñado para ser usado en relaciones de discipulado y otros escenarios enfocados, Multiplícate te equipará para llevar a cabo el ministerio de Jesús.

Christianity is the faith of the poor. As Christians, we worship the Lord Jesus Christ, who “though he was rich, yet for your sake became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2 Cor 8:9). How do we discern the best responses to poverty? How should we as ministers, church leaders, and businesspeople engage in our communities? Sometimes it seems that we in the modern American church stand on opposite sides of an impassible gulf as we talk about poverty and justice.

Eine überfällige Auseinandersetzung mit dem hochaktuellen Thema Kirchenkritik – und gleichzeitig der Liebesbrief eines modernen Theologen, der keine Angst davor hat, unangenehme Fragen zu stellen. Denn was ist eigentlich los mit der Kirche? Warum wenden sich immer mehr Menschen von ihr ab, und das in einer Zeit, in der die Sehnsucht nach Orientierung größer denn je zu sein scheint? Wie ist es überhaupt so weit gekommen? Und was kann die Kirche tun? Julian Sengelmann geht mit kritischem Blick diesen Fragen nach und zeigt, warum es die Kirche heute so schwer hat.

As we journey along, we will discover what it means to follow Jesus and recognize God’s mission to redeem the world. We will see how God has gifted us and uniquely designed us to play a part in His plan and he will show us how to see people as God sees them. My prayer is this book will help you put your "Faith In Action".

I believe that this is our time, our hour, and our moment as Christians to be fully consumed by God. This book, Living a Life Consumed by God, is meant to equip and empower every believer to live our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, so that we can live the full life of freedom that Christ has for us!

For every person who has felt lonely or isolated, The Sacred Us explores a new way of living through the practice of biblical community. In a world that celebrates individuality and autonomy, too many of us struggle to form deep, meaningful relationships. Loneliness is the norm, rich friendships are rare, and the church is no exception. We long for real community but often don’t know how to get there. What will it take to develop healthy friendships?

It's time to start over from zero. What happened to the Western church? Why are we losing the generation under thirty and reaching so few nonbelievers? In Church Zero, Peyton Jones examines one of our biggest problems: squeezing our leaders into a mold that cuts their hair and drains away their commando strength. Scripture lays out a leadership model that worked explosively in the first century.

This audiobook could not have been written if it had not been first inspired in me by the Holy Spirit. I believe the Holy Spirit gave me this audiobook to help individuals grow in various areas of their faith.

Blending firsthand accounts of tragedy with opportunity for raw self-examination and reflection, Vleisides delves into the realm of spirituality and belief amid loss and despair. For the "spiritual but not religious", who want to pursue God outside the walls of organized religion, Used to Go to Church is an invitation to rethink faith and open up to a life centered on grace, mercy, and love.

Church on Fire by Fred Hartley is a study that takes churches on a thirty-one-day journey toward the manifest presence of Christ in the life of the Body. Each week includes five chapters, which require reflection, study, and prayer as well a section for pastors and discussion questions for small groups.

Today's Christian church is in a severe state of compromise. False prophets and teachers have infiltrated the church, using their status and position to deceive and exploit the hopes of naïve believing church members. Under compromised leadership, the focus of attaining salvation for lost and weary souls has shifted to obtaining celebrity status and riches.

In the course of his work as a vicar, Dave Tomlinson meets lots of people who describe themselves as 'not good enough' to be Christians, thinking that faith involves going to church a lot or believing in a list of strange things or following certain rules. But being a Christian isn't about any of that - and actually, following Jesus is a lot easier, and more fun, than most people think....

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

What would you do if you learned—from a podcast—that your dad (a pastor) was a serial sexual abuser? For Ryan George, this isn't a hypothetical question. He knew the faces behind the stories he heard. In fact, his mind flashed with memories of the abuse he'd endured from that same pastor as he listened to news that would change his life. In time, as he processed the destruction rampant in the cult of his youth, he found predatory behavior to be more of a feature than a bug of his former religion as both abuse and coverups were baked into its theology.

This powerful book reimagines discipleship by begging us to acknowledge that racism exists in the Church—and offers the hopeful message that we can disciple it out. It is not an accident that racism is alive and well in the American church. Racism has, in fact, been taught within the church...

Author Kevin Lowry's journey to Catholicism is fascinating, often funny, and demonstrates God's unfailing, patient love for all of us. A preacher's kid at a Catholic university, Kevin Lowry settled into a double major in beer and billiards soon followed by uncomfortable run-ins with pious students, failing grades, increasing anxiety, a missing night, and the startling realization that some fellow students actually attended Mass the morning after a party instead of sleeping it off. After getting kicked out, Kevin got his act together, got the MBA, and also got the girl.
