La mayor parte del movimiento de la iglesia celular de hoy en día es dinámico, positivo y aplicable. Como ocurre con la mayoría de los esfuerzos, los errores y las falsas suposiciones también surgen para destruir un movimiento que es en realidad sano. Algunas veces estos falsos conceptos han hecho que la iglesia se extravíe por completo. En otras ocasiones condujeron al pastor y a la iglesia por un callejón sin salida y hacia un ministerio infructuoso. Sin tener en cuenta cómo se generaron los mitos, estos tuvieron un efecto escalofriante en el ministerio de la iglesia. En este libro...

Hemos titulado este libro "Usted Puede Entrenador" porque creemos que el entrenamiento es más acerca de la transmisión de lo que has vivido y ayudar a otros en el proceso. El “coaching” o entrenamiento no requiere un grado superior, talento especial, personalidad única, o un don espiritual particular. En este libro, usted escuchará tres entrenadores que han entrenado con éxito pastores durante muchos años. Ellos compartirán su historia, sus sueños, principios, y lo que Dios está haciendo a través del entrenamiento.

Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God’s supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be. The key distinction of this audiobook is the spiritual perspective it gives to small group ministry. In a Holy Spirit-charged atmosphere, cell leaders are best raised up and members are encouraged to minister in their giftedness.

Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, “Theology must breed methodology.”Joel Comiskey has arrived at the same conclusion. Biblical truth is the only firm foundation for anything we do. Without a biblical base, we don’t have a strong under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. We can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically.

One common but untrue criticism of believers is that they are so heavenly-minded that they are no earthly good. But the reality is that having an eternal perspective inspires believers to do much earthly good here and now. True victory is living for God and preparing for eternity. I’ve wanted jobs and promotions that God had not planned for me. I had one person in mind: Joel Comiskey. God graciously directed me to remember that true riches are in the next world. I’ve had to ask him to keep my eyes on the eternal reward he graciously offers.

When Jesus died on the cross, he said, “It is finished.” Jesus' price for man’s sin was indeed finished on the cross. God provided the solution to guilt. He sacrificed himself on the cross (Philippians 2:5–11). Victory in Christ is impossible without the love and liberty that comes from the forgiveness Jesus paid for on the cross. God’s grace replaces our heavy loads with his easy, light one. It’s not about what I have done but what Christ has done for me. I’m righteous in Jesus. He’s my hope, my fullness, my all in all. In Jesus, I’m alive; I have peace. I’ve learned ...

Many people do not believe that God is in control of their lives. They think they are the captains of their ship and don’t need God. Others believe that God might exist but that he’s not actively involved in their personal affairs or the world's affairs. It’s a subtle form of deism—the belief that God wound up the clock and let it tick down. According to this view, God started the process when he created the world but allows things to happen naturally without any guidance or influence. On the other hand, Scripture tells us that God, the Creator, is actively involved in all his ...
