LIVING WITH
YOU, LIVING WITH ME
by Kel Willis
As Christians we believe that the gospel impacts the whole of our
lives, and especially our relationships with one another, for they
are at the core of what we are and do. But too often the message
we proclaim is compromised and discredited by our behaviour and
fractured relationship.
The relational principles contained within these pages have the
potential to:
 |
help up become more positive about our lives |
|
|
transform our relationships |
|
|
increase our capacity to contribute to others |
|
|
resolve conflict in ways that will help us grow spiritually and
relationally |
The application of these principles will improve relationships across the church
in general as we demonstrate with more integrity what it means to live together
as God's family. If your heart beats for healthier relationships within your
church, "Living with You, Living with Me" is the book for you.

CLEARING
THE COBWEBS
by Kel Willis
 The
church is only as vital and strategic as its individual members. Fundamental to
its growth is the ability of each one of us to live the Christian life. The
tragedy is that many Christians struggle to understand the faith they profess to
experience and find themselves asking questions like, 'Why doesn't my Christian
life work' and 'What's wrong with the church?'
This book clearly and simply explains how the Christian life can be lived and
enjoyed, and how we as God's people can function effectively within His church.
It has been widely and successfully used in small group study situations.

PREACHING
FOR IMPACT
by
Kel Willis
The Sunday church service, where most sermons are preached, is one of the most
important public expressions of what the church is. It is the shop window
whereby people who 'just drop in' assess our relevance to them.
 One reason for falling
church attendance and an increasing number of shallow, immature Christians with
little real understanding of their faith is the decline in able pulpit ministry.
Many people are being turned off church these days due to preaching which is
bland, purposeless and irrelevant.
Acknowledging the work of the Holy Spirit, the impact of any
sermon upon its hearers is determined by a number of factors:
|
|
Clear objectives
|
|
|
Prayerful preparation
|
|
|
Interesting content
|
|
|
An attention-grabbing introduction
|
|
|
A clear outline
|
|
|
Effective illustrations
|
|
|
Professional presentation
|
|
|
A convincing conclusion
|
This book shows the contemporary preacher how to effectively bring these
elements together in the process of sermon preparation and delivery. It will
prove to be invaluable for both the experienced and novice preacher, and can be
used as a teaching tool for preaching classes.

ESCAPING
MEDIOCRITY
by Kel Willis
 Whilst it is
true that some churches are static or in decline, there are many that are
vibrant and growing. When we hear of growing churches, the first thing we want
to know is what kind of programs they are running. However, such churches have
far more significant things in common than dynamic programs. They have been
through the process of discovering and applying strategic Bible principles that
enable the church to be what God intended. This book develops these principles
that need to be embraced if lasting growth is to take place. The author's desire
is that those who read it will become catalysts for an escape from the
mediocrity that envelops those churches which have lost the sense of who they
are and why they exist as the people of God.

THE EXPERIENCE
TRAP
by Kel Willis
 A faith that is
devoid of experience becomes at best a mere intellectual exercise, unable to
really change us or significantly meet the deep spiritual needs that all of us
have. At worst, it becomes a legalistic master, constantly demanding what we
cannot achieve and then condemning us for our failure to measure up to its
requirements.
On the other hand, a faith that is dependent and focused on spiritual
experiences produces in us a constant need for 'something more' in order to
maintain the spiritual momentum of our lives. Because all experience by its very
nature is transitory, an experience-centred faith results in insecurity,
instability and, frequently, disillusionment.
This book examines the nature and source of some current experience-centred
movements and provides a biblical foundation for determining the validity of
spiritual experiences. It deals with issues such as:
|
|
the importance of the mind
|
|
|
the influence of culture on the church's thinking
|
|
|
the place of prophecy today
|
|
|
the problem of suffering and healing
|
|
|
the miraculous intervention of God
|
|
|
the basis for stable, satisfying Christian experience
|
