Resource Pack #1

This Resource Pack includes:

Leviathan Exposed by Dr. Lance Wallnau
Pastor Lance has become a favorite speaker at many of our VM churches and his prophetic insights and revelatory teaching have blessed many. Leviathan Exposed has been one of his most listened to tape series. Mentioned in both the Old Testament and New Testament, this unusual principality shows up in "the deep". You will encounter this subtle yet powerful adversary whenever you venture into the deep places of God's call. This spirit, the patron saint of Satanism, can and must be defeated and this series will give you some weapons for your warfare. (3 audio tape series)

Missional Church by Darrel Gruder
In this post-Christian era, the focus of the North American church centers on the maintenance of the institution rather than on God's mission. In this timely volume, six missiologist examine the church's loss of dominance in today's culture. Presenting a biblically based theology, they challenge the church to recover its missional vocation-here in North America. (Softcover book, 270 pages)

One review offered this evaluation. The authors managed to distill each others thoughts, observations and study into a coherent and practical exposition. This is a must read for any Christian concerned about the vitality of the church in America and the world. This book will be especially challenging and relevant to pastoral and lay leaders in the local church. It is a lucid work that brings an understanding of how the church in America exists in its present form today and where it has failed to become relevant in today's post modernistic society.

In my travels, I have heard this book referenced by many other church leaders. I anticipate that it will become a mainstay providing a contemporary ecclesiology. It is not an "easy-read", but I believe if you will discipline yourself to press through you will be glad you did. I found the chapter on "apostolic ministry" particularly interesting since it is written from an evangelical perspective.

God's Own Possession: Lordship, Abandonment to God; by Doug Fike
We are passing along a timely message by one of our own apostolic leaders, Doug Fike. In this foundational series, Doug discusses the meaning of effective Lordship in our lives. What does it mean to throw ourselves unreservedly into God's purposes? It will give some clear help for laying hold of that for which Christ laid hold of us. Hope you are encouraged. (CD Rom)
