Turning Point of World History: The Resurrection According to Acts

October 23, 2019 | Brandon D. Crowe

Though he ascends into heaven in the opening verses, this doesn’t mean he’s absent. Acts presents Jesus as the resurrected, ascended, and glorious King of Kings who is guiding his church, pouring out his Spirit, and granting forgiveness. Jesus is the focus of the apostolic preaching throughout Acts. As messengers of the mission, the apostles must…

How the Fellows Became John Yates’s ‘Best Legacy’

October 22, 2019 | Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra

When Ellen Hilliard was in college, she knew one thing for sure: she was not going to do a fellows program after she graduated. “My older sister Laura did it four years before me,” Ellen said. “Because she had done it, I was not going to. I was going to forge my own path.” But her path didn’t seem to be going anywhere. She loved mentoring youth, but not enough to…

The Pastor’s One Essential Responsibility

October 21, 2019 | Aaron Menikoff

What’s a pastor to do? It’s a simple question, but it’s surprising how different pastors answer it. Some say they’re here to shepherd. Others say they’re here to teach. None would say they’re here to entertain, but a steady diet of their teaching leaves the listener wondering. I once saw a pastor begin his service with guests using golf clubs to chip candy into the audience. He wanted to warm up the crowd. There’s a better way, and it’s outlined in Kevin Vanhoozer’s Hearers and Doers: A Pastor’s Guide to Making Disciples Through Scripture and Doctrine. Above all, pastors shape…
