In Micro Church Networks, Larry Kreider explains from decades of first-hand experience how these networks fit the needs, call and passion of believers from many generations. Typical questions such as "How are micro churches different from small groups?" and "How do micro church networks relate to churches with a more traditional structure?" are well-answered in this timely publication. God is always ready to do a new thing. Larry helps us perceive this new move of God and recognize the significant role of micro church networks in the advancement of God's Kingdom in our present time.

When Jesus thought about the church, what did he imagine? Most churches are small, and rightly so. With power being redistributed in our time, networks of smaller enterprises are both growing and thriving. The yearning for participation and empowerment has us all looking for versions of church that make room for everyone. Perhaps, after all our hand wringing and insecurity about the size of our churches, we have missed the point. Microchurches can be strong, beautiful, accessible and potent portraits of just what Jesus had in mind, if not for all time, at least for ours. This book is a guide to understanding, appreciating and if you are up for it, starting a micro church.

We need a big surge of love! The world is in serious trouble. Mass violence, the dissolution of the family, crime, poverty, and moral decay are rooted in the breakdown of love relationships with God, family and others. Honest leaders have become painfully aware that institutional church programs are falling short in solving these problems. Therefore, this training manual proposes the biblical strategies which will actually affect change in people and culture. It is all about igniting much more love! The church is to be the primary catalyst for bringing the kingdom of God on earth. This is a field manual to help us advance Christ's kingdom. God is a Father, Son and Spirit - a Family of Three, yet One. Therefore, He will only build His kingdom in congruence to His own nature, which is the Trinitarian pattern of family. This training manual is all about how to make vibrant disciples of Christ, sons and daughters, in the context of small spiritual families on mission. It is about producing eternal fruit by creating a disciple-making culture resulting in generational transfer. Church leaders are desperately searching for ways, to stop the mass exodus of believers from leaving "organized religion." This decline in church participation is a result of a lack of relational love and intimacy. Micro-Church families are the most effective way to help people connect meaningfully with God and with one another. Caring leaders are looking for biblical solutions to real problems. How do we inspire loving community among our members? How can we be more effective at healing the sick and the broken-hearted? how do we train and mobilize our churches to reach the lost with the gospel? How can we infiltrate and incarnate God's love in all spheres of society - the "seven mountains" of influence? Fortunately, the Bible tells us the answers. Jesus modeled the way. Just like the early church, who met house to house, we can form dynamic small spiritual families that make disciples, provide inner healing and reach out to neighbors.

In this fourth Biblical Foundation book we look at the final three of the six foundational doctrines of the Christian faith found in Hebrews 6:1-2-the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment: Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment (NKJ). The foundational doctrine of the laying on of hands is an act in which one person imparts or conveys blessing, healing and/or authority to another for a specific spiritual purpose. We will learn that the laying on of hands has a vital connection with many aspects of our Christian lives. The hope of the resurrection is another biblical foundation that is so important to a Christian's faith because those who believe in Christ will share in His resurrection and have eternal life! Another foundation stone that is linked to the resurrection of the dead is eternal judgment. Every man and woman who has ever lived will be judged by God for all of eternity. The reality of an eternal judgment should cause all believers to hate sin and diligently seek the lost to tell them of God's wonderful plan for mankind! Use this book and the other 11 Biblical Foundation books to lay a solid foundation in your life, or if you are already a mature Christian, these books are great tools to assist you in mentoring others. Each book can be used as a daily devotional and includes teaching outlines and discussion questions for each chapter. Also available in Spanish and French
