The church today is poised on a precarious balance between culture and content, between cultural relevance and doctrinal integrity. Like a seesaw, the church swings back and forth, compelled both to reach an entertainment-driven culture and to remain true to the Gospel.In Future Church, Jim Wilson presents 7 clear principles which become "fulcrum points," principles that will give the Church real leverage to reach people and push them upward toward the hand of God. These 7 Fulcrum Points are illustrated in real-life settings, as Wilson takes us on visits to churches that are utilizing them. This is the way of ministry in a post-seeker age. This is Future Church!

What two things do these people have in common? 
• A skinhead procreating the Arian race 
• A businessman with a $10,000 a month bar tab 
• A drug enforcer who collects money from pushers 
• A man who leaves his wife to enter the homosexual community 
• A womanizing mortician 
1. They’ve changed. Their lives were all radically transformed by Jesus Christ into a “new creation.” 
2. They heard the gospel message from someone just like you. 
In Transformations, you’ll encounter people whose lives were radically transformed by Jesus Christ and discover how you can become a transformational witness. 
No slick techniques. No guilt trips. No gimmicks. Just a few stories of how God is moving in people’s hearts to draw them to Himself using ordinary Christians. 
People like us. People like you.

Transformations

“What would Jesus do?” is a good question, but it is not the right question, at least not by itself. Asking what Jesus would do in a given situation without a fundamental understanding of His lifestyle will not give adequate guidance for daily living or for defining moments. Jesus’ lifestyle—His ongoing walk with His Father—shaped His choices. It is impossible to understand some of Jesus’ words or choices without considering the way He lived His life and the purpose for which He lived. Spiritual disciplines are small things Christians intentionally do to open themselves to God’s work of conforming them to the image of Christ. In Soul Shaping, Jim L. Wilson shows how small acts of devotion, woven into the fabric of everyday life can help Christians live like Jesus lived, and participate in being transformed into Christ's image.. "We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18 HCSB)

These 7 Fulcrum Points are illustrated in real-life settings, as Wilson takes us on visits to churches that are utilizing them. This is the way of ministry in a post-seeker age.

This comprehensive and engaging manual aids preachers in keeping the transformative meaning and impact of the biblical text intact through all hermeneutical and homiletical processes. While this approach applies to all sermon structures, the book focuses on the less familiar one-point expository message rather than the more common three-point sermon, or verse-by-verse approach. Drawing upon the strengths of their backgrounds as homiletic and biblical studies professors, the authors help the reader identify which biblical texts fit the one-point expository sermon structure, explain how to develop the sermons, and provide sermon samples that illustrate the approach. The authors explore the features of each major literary genre and how it helps to shape the sermon. With their shared expertise in biblical studies and homiletics, they offer a book brimming with insights and usefulness.
