| Résumé : |
Beneath the surface of churches' programs and activities lies the fundamental question: How can leaders and churches be enabled to discern and cooperate with the guidance and empowering of the Holy Spirit? Since the kingdom of God is an active expression of his reign on earth, it is extended and realized as individuals and churches seek and submit to his will and purposes. This book offers a practical guide for nurturing churches in the dynamic cooperative process, drawing on a breadth of experience from around the world.
Many leaders overtook the necessary precondition of discerning and cooperating with the empowering will of the Holy Spirit before putting plans into action. But how is this to be accomplished? Seven dynamics facilitate this process. These factors, facilitated by the church leadership and brought into being by the Holy Spirit, help congregations engage in the vital work of compassionate service, evangelistic outreach, godly governance, healing, worship, and disciple-making. As believers actively cooperate with the Holy Spirit, the church grows in its role of being a foretaste of the kingdom of God. |
