One Assembly: Rethinking the Multisite and Multiservice Church Models

Maybe you have been there: you're running late to church, and you know it will be hard to find an empty seat. This is an all-too-frequent experience in a growing church. For churches experiencing this dilemma, a common solution is to add another service or location. This seems like a cost-effective fix. Besides, no one wants to turn away non-Christians. But is it the best option? Jonathan Leeman presents a series of biblical, theological, and pastoral arguments to help reorient our minds to a scriptural definition of church. He makes the case that maintaining a single assembly best follows the Bible, fulfills the Great Commission, and furthers our partnership with other churches.

Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flour

Accessible Guide from 9Marks Equips Believers to Steward Their God-Given Authority In every position of power—from executives and world leaders to church elders and parents— lies the potential for life-giving leadership or destructive corruption. Driven by sinful pride or opportunism, many people abuse their God-given influence, harming the ones they're called to lead and contributing to an intense angst against authority. The answer to bad authority, however, is not no authority, but good authority—the kind that, according to Scripture, causes those under it to flourish. In this compelling guide from 9Marks, Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good, but is essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue godly influence in their personal and professional lives. - Applicable: Challenges readers to identify weaknesses in their own leadership style and offers 5 attributes of godly authority - Engaging: Filled with compelling stories that illustrate key points - A Great Resource for Pastors, Employers, Officers, and Parents: Helps readers understand how to practice godly authority in church, at home, and in the workplace

Redescubre: ¿Por qué ir (de nuevo) a la iglesia?

¿No es suficiente con que un cristiano siga la transmisión en vivo de un servicio de la iglesia? ¿Todavía vale la pena unirse a una congregación local? ¿En realidad es tan importante reunirse todas las semanas? ¿Por qué debería ir a la iglesia (de nuevo)? Collin Hansen y Jonathan Leeman abordan estas preguntas. Quieren ayudarte a redescubrir por qué la iglesia es tan importante. La iglesia es más que una transmisión en vivo; es una comunidad que, como pueblo de Dios, aprende a ser el cuerpo de Cristo. Necesitas a otros (y otros necesitan de ti) para ser cristiano.

Redécouvrir l'Église locale

Depuis qu'une pandémie mondiale a brusquement entraîné la fermeture des lieux de culte ou réduit leur capacité d'accueil, de nombreux chrétiens ont délaissé la vie d'Église, négligeant même les cultes virtuels. Cependant, cette tendance existait bien avant la COVID-19. En effet, des questions de société polarisantes avaient, notamment, déjà convaincu certaines personnes de s'éloigner de l'Église et de ses membres. Il est maintenant temps de s'engager à se rassembler de nouveau en tant que frères et sœurs en Christ. Dans Redécouvrir l'Église locale, Collin Hansen et Jonathan Leeman expliquent pourquoi l'Église est essentielle pour les croyants et la mission de Dieu. À travers différents textes bibliques et plusieurs histoires personnelles, ils montrent aux lecteurs la véritable intention de Dieu pour les rassemblements d'Église : renforcer spirituellement les membres en tant qu'individus et en tant que corps du Christ. À une époque où l'on a de la difficulté à s'engager sérieusement envers une Église et où les cultes sont diffusés en ligne, redécouvrez pourquoi l'avenir de l'Église repose sur le rassemblement régulier des croyants en tant que famille de Dieu.

Herontdekking: Waarom zou ik naar de kerk gaan?

Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn. JONATHAN LEEMAN (PhD, University of Wales) is de uitgeefdirecteur van 9Marks. Hij schrijft praktische boeken over gemeentezijn en geeft les aan predikantsopleidingen. COLLIN HANSEN (MDiv, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is de hoofdredacteur van de website The Gospel Coalition.

Is It Loving to Practice Church Discipline?

'I eagerly commend this series.' —R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? The church's message is about grace, we reason, while discipline feels like the opposite of grace. In fact, Jesus taught his disciples to practice church discipline because it's one way congregations grow in holiness and imitate God's own love. In this audiobook, Jonathan Leeman presents biblical answers to questions about the nature and application of church discipline, conveying that Scripture presents church discipline as both loving and necessary for yielding life, health, holiness, and growth in the local church body.
