For many church leaders, church planting does not even appear on the agenda of things to be considered.But - how do we reach this lost generation in which we have been placed? This new edition of Multiplying Churches, written from Acts 29's years of experience, serves as a timely reminder that mission needs to be our identity rather than our event.

Ten provocative sayings of Jesus are explored, challenging conventional worldly values and urging Christians to reevaluate their understanding of discipleship. Steve Timmis prompts readers to confront and reflect on the implications of these teachings, advocating for a deeper commitment to living out faith in a way that diverges from societal norms. This book serves as a call to embrace a more authentic and transformative Christian life.

Union with Christ is truly phenomenal and supernatural, but it is not make- believe or mysterious. It is beautifully pertinent to daily experience. In Christ focuses on how our union with Christ really does shape and impact not only everything we do and say, but how we say and do it.

A jargon free introduction to what it means to be a Christian leader from the Bible, not modern management manuals. Short punchy chapters Bible studies and discussion resources in each chapter Accessible to any level of leadership in the congregation Part of the popular "Gospel Centered" series Practical and Bible based

Our world is awash with leadership trainers and gurus, claiming to show how people can do their job better. But Christians only have one role model for leadership – the Lord Jesus Christ. And the leadership he calls us to is radically different to the kind of leadership the world looks for. It is wise, intentional and dynamic. But it is also humble and servant hearted. The aim of this book is to help us to think through what shape, colour and texture the gospel gives to leadership. It is for all kinds of leaders - formal or informal, experienced or novice, actual or aspiring, skilled or simply doing the best they can. It is for leaders of churches, small groups, youth groups, large groups and even tiny groups of one or two. The short, punchy chapters - with Bible studies, questions for reflection and ideas for action - build into a manual for testing and improving your own leadership as well as helping others grow into gospel-centred leaders. Use this guide to stimulate your maturing as the servant-hearted leader that God wants you to be, and to encourage others along the same path.

"Church is not a meeting you attend or a place you enter," write pastors Tim Chester and Steve Timmis. "It's an identity that is ours in Christ. An identity that shapes the whole of life so that life and mission become 'total church.'" With that as their premise, they emphasize two overarching principles to govern the practice of church and mission: being gospel-centered and being community-centered. When these principles take precedence, say the authors, the truth of the Word is upheld, the mission of the gospel is carried out, and the priority of relationships is practiced in radical ways. The church becomes not just another commitment to juggle but a 24/7 lifestyle where programs, big events, and teaching from one person take a backseat to sharing lives, reaching out, and learning about God together. In Total Church, Chester and Timmis first outline the biblical case for making gospel and community central and then apply this dual focus to evangelism, social involvement, church planting, world missions, discipleship, pastoral care, spirituality, theology, apologetics, youth and children's work. As this insightful book calls the body of Christ to rethink its perspective and practice of church, it charts a middle path between the emerging church movement and conservative evangelicalism that all believers will find helpful.
