As the church in Africa continues its growth, there is a pressing need for resources on what the church is, and how it should function. Using 30 years of pastoral service in Lusaka, Zambia, Conrad Mbewe applies biblical principles to help bring depth and maturity to African church leaders.

Unity: Striving Side by Side for the Gospel (Growing Gospel Integrity)

Few doctrines are more beautiful than penal substitution. To behold it is to stare into the Godhead itself. Penal substitution shows us a God who is three in one. It shows us the simplicity of God. It shows us the self-sufficiency of God. Penal substitution shows us the love of God and the nature of that love. It shows us the righteousness and justice of God. It shows us the holiness of God. Penal substitution is good news for those who have hurt and those who have been hurt. Amidst this beauty and glory, our world and our sin conspire to render penal substitution nonsensical. To enjoy the glory and to wage the battle, 9Marks devotes this Journal to penal substitutionary atonement. The theological and practical meditations alike should create a joy which you will want to share.

More and more pulpits are occupied by motivational speakers rather than preachers. Church congregations are not being given a comprehensive, biblical understanding of the faith. Drawing on his own experience as a pastor in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe tackles issues such as the content of pastoral preaching, how pastoral preaching relates to church life, finding the time to prepare pastoral sermons, and dealing with discouragement. Throughout the book, it is clear that the authors conviction is to see preachers grow strong churches, to build a people for God.

Pastoral Preaching: Building a People for God

Langham Partnership International

Insights from the Lives of Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga for Pioneer Mission and Church Planting Today deals with the question of the hand over process of pioneer missionaries to the first indigenous leaders in church planting missions situations. It recognises the fact this process when wrongly handled has caused a lot of harm to the work of missions. The case study in this thesis, which took place at the start of Baptist work in Zambia, shows one example in which it was done exceptionally well. The researcher also uses biblical interpretation and qualitative empirical analysis to augment his research. He finally posits that the mutual respect and mutual admiration between Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga is what led to this admirable result.

Si aun un ángel predica un evangelio contrario a la Palabra de Dios, está bajo maldición. No hay ningún cristiano en el mundo que no necesite considerer seriamente las palabras de Pablo a los gálatas. El evangelio es el regalo más valioso de la iglesia, el cual ella debe apreciar, proteger, y legar. Jamás debemos dejar de revisar lo que creemos y predicamos, y luego preguntarnos, ¿es esto el evangelio? ¿Es esto el evangelio que Dios nos ha revelado en la Biblia?Existe un falso evangelio que se extiende por los continents: el evangelio de la prosperidad. Hay muchas Iglesias que están predicando este falso evangelio. Es una peligrosa mentira envuelta en una cubierta de religion. Este aleja a sus víctimas de la buena noticia de Dios y las lleva a un engaño centrado en el hombre. No hay nada que Pablo tomara más en serio que el peligro de un evangelio distinto, y nosotros sentimos lo mismo. No hay nada más serio; de ello depende nuestra alma.

Mais si quelqu’un – même un ange venu du ciel – annonce un évangile s’écartant de la Parole de Dieu, il est maudit. Tous les chrétiens, sans exception, doivent réfléchir sérieusement à ces paroles que Paul a adressées aux Galates. L’Évangile est le cadeau le plus précieux que l’Église ait reçu. Celle-ci doit le chérir, le protéger et le proclamer. Nous avons la responsabilité de vérifier la validité de nos croyances et de nos enseignements en nous posant cette question : est-ce vraiment l’Évangile ? Est-ce l’Évangile que Dieu nous a révélé dans la Bible ? Il y a un faux évangile – l’évangile de la prospérité – qui se répand un peu partout à travers le monde. Plusieurs églises prêchent ce faux évangile. Il s’agit cependant d’un mensonge extrêmement dangereux qui se cache sous les apparences de la religion. Tous ceux qui sont affectés par cette tromperie s’éloignent de la Bonne Nouvelle de Dieu et embrassent un mensonge centré sur l’homme. Tout comme l’apôtre Paul, les auteurs de ce livre prennent au sérieux le danger d’annoncer un évangile qui serait contraire à l’Évangile de Christ. En effet, il n’y a rien de plus crucial que de connaître le vrai Évangile, car le salut de nos âmes en dépend.

Le dessein de Dieu pour l'Église: Un guide pour les pasteurs et les responsables de ministères en Afrique (French Edition)

If even an angel preaches a gospel contrary to God’s word, he is under a curse. There is not a Christian in the world that does not need to seriously consider Paul's words to the Galatians. The gospel is the church’s most precious gift to cherish, protect, and pass on. We must never stop checking what we believe and preach, and then ask the question: Is this the gospel? Is this the gospel that God has revealed to us in the Bible?There is a false gospel--the prosperity gospel--sweeping across continents. There are many churches preaching this false gospel. It is a dangerous lie wrapped in a covering of religion. Those affected by it are being led away from God's good news to a man-centered deception. Paul took nothing more seriously than the danger of a different gospel and we feel the same way. Nothing is more serious; our souls depend on it.
