Resources
Steve’s short book aims to articulate the essentials of the apostolic and the other four ministries described in Ephesians 4:11 as fundamental to the life of every local church. The book is practical: Steve is not seeking to write a theological justification for contemporary apostolic or other fivefold ministries. It will lead us to ask: Are we clear on what sort of leadership and ministry we want to develop in our churches, and how we should go about this? How can we develop networks of ministry that can work together in harmony, producing strong and thriving churches – big ones for big cities, and smaller ones for smaller towns and villages, but nonetheless strong and thriving, rather than struggling and merely surviving?
UK Books
This series of books were generated by different leaders in the UK family of churches to address emerging issues.
Leading Today - Church Leadership In A Changing World
Good leadership is a key to the health of just about any arena of life. Righteous, skilful, and honest leadership do a nation, business, church or family good! Steve Thomas writes to help church leadership answer some specific challenges: How do we change our paradigms, ways of thinking and styles of leadership to adapt to the new and changing situation of our world? What needs to change, and what needs to stay? In short, ‘what kind of house’ does God want?
Holy Spirit People - Receiving and Releasing The Life of God
Our family of churches was born out of an encounter with the Holy Spirit that was dynamic, powerful and unpredictable. As we have matured as a family a new challenge has emerged: to engage that life of the Spirit with the world he longs to touch. Both these aspects – what Mike and Roger call ‘the water and the wheel’ – are needed if we are going to not only rediscover our roots as a family of churches but also push on into the new vision that God is calling us to. Mike is a Bible Teacher, based in Oxford but travelling widely to teach in the UK and other nations. Roger leads a church in Henley and also travels, encouraging others to respond to the work of the Holy Spirit.
Living Generously - A Big-hearted People With A Big-hearted God
As we are facing big global economic challenges, how are God’s people meant to respond in the use of their time, homes, and money? With ‘prudent wisdom’ or ‘generous faith’? And is there a right way to live, in any time or season, that doesn’t depend on circumstances, economic blessing, or prosperity? What attitude does God want us to carry, as we pursue our vision?
Loving God, Living Church - Church For People Who Believe God Really Does Love The World
“I wouldn’t ever go to church, but I like the fact that it is there!” That comment reflects how some still find vague comfort in the church, particularly at times of need; while also seeing it as an irrelevant relic of a bygone age, simply one voice among many. Society in the UK is changing. Church is no longer at the centre of local communities. Is the church as we know it working?
Made for People - Community, Relationship And The People Of God
Radical Discipleship - The Adventure Of Change
“You are just about to begin the most exciting adventure that it’s possible for anyone in life to go on.” For Martin Dunkley, that’s how the journey of discipleship began – an adventure of change as he followed Jesus. His powerful personal story and biblical reflections inspire us to live life as disciples: following Jesus through our daily choices, seeing our attitudes and actions changed, and finding the fruitful ministry Jesus has for us.
Reaching Lost People - Helping Friends Find Friendship With Jesus
A common myth says, “I’m not going to talk to my friends about Jesus because I want a genuine friendship without any agenda.” Through a blend of compelling personal stories and clear-headed biblical teaching, Richard and Kate Colbrook dispel myths about personal evangelism, inspiring and equipping you to help your friends find their own friendship with Jesus.
Revealing Jesus - Living As God’s People In Today’s World
Britain’s greatest need is not for more money or a more stable government. Neither is it for church programmes and activities. The people of Britain do not need us. They need Jesus. He has a plan for introducing himself to this nation, which is to enable his people really to live as children of God, so that other people can meet God in and through us. He wants us not only to shine his light into the darkest places, but ourselves to shine as ‘little lights’ that look like him. But what does that mean in daily life? How do we live out this transforming faith?
Tear down the Walls - Getting into our Communities
Ally Kay came to Christ whilst serving as a Para Commando in the French Foreign Legion in 1986. His conversion was a dramatic one that led to a prison sentence, and later, on release, to a homeless hostel in Ashford in Kent. Ally now works with the poor and marginalised on the streets of Derby. Through gripping stories and biblical principles, this book communicates a passion for all of God’s church to transform our society: doing good to people, being available to people, praying for people, and being a blessing!
