The Pulse of Christ (Revised and Expanded) (ePub)

In Ephesians 4:1-16, Jesus gave five specific spiritual gifts for the equipping and building up of his body to display his fullness in the world: apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. But many of us don't understand what these gifts are or how they can be activated on an individual, team, or church level.

Following Jesus' model of learning by doing, this book will help:

• Every person to discover and develop their fivefold gifts and design.
• Every team to become more balanced, collaborative, and effective.
• Every church to become a healthier body, functioning in all five gifts Jesus gave us.

Packed with twenty-five practical exercises-five in each area-this training manual not only outlines why the fivefold is important for the health and maturity of the church, but it also shows how to equip others, releasing every member in their gifts so the body functions in all five areas to represent the fullness of Christ.

Designed to be simple, reproducible, and cross-cultural, this book is ideal for small groups, youth groups, missions teams, organizations, whole churches, church plants, and ministry schools.

Discover for yourself the powerful fivefold ministry Jesus designed for the church and be energized as the pulse of Christ pumps through your spiritual veins, infusing new life into your faith, your team, or your church.
