Det er ingen hemmelighet at vår tids kirke har mistet sin innflytelse på kulturen. Men hvorfor? Med så mye teknologi, velstand og kunnskap som vi har i dag, hvorfor ser vi likevel færre resultater enn kirken gjorde i det første århundret - da den måtte greie seg uten sosiale media, flotte bygninger, profesjonelle pastorer, ja, uten religionsfrihet? Hva er det vi mangler? På disse viktige, tankevekkende sidene graver Ed Silvoso dypt i Skriften og avdekker Jesu sanne design for sin kirke - Hans Ekklesia. Han viser hvordan den første kristne menighet var en radikal, motkulturell kraft av mennesker som forvandlet sine fiendtlige og hedenske omgivelser. Ved hjelp av Bibelens undervisning og eksempler fra vår egen tid viser Silvoso oss hvordan vi midt i det sosiale, økonomiske, politiske og moralske kaoset i verden i dag, igjen kan bli den revolusjonerende, forvandlende, livgivende Ekklesia Jesus har kalt oss til å være. «Ed Silvosos budskap er forfriskende og salvet. Boken er for deg som lengter etter god undervisning med et radikalt Guds rike-fokus!» Asbjørn Simonnes PhD Teologisk rådgiver i Oase og dosent ved Høgskolen for Ledelse og Teologi «Ingen kristenleder har betydd mer for meg enn Ed Silvoso. Det er to personer vi takker for at tjenesten vår er mulig: Ed Silvoso og Hans Nielsen Hauge.» Arne Sylta Managing Director, Hauge Micro Finance

Dynamic New Teaching from Bestselling Author Ed SilvosoIt's no secret that the church today has lost its influence in culture. But why? With the technology, affluence, and knowledge we have today, why are we less effective than the first-century church--which didn't have social media, fancy buildings, professional pastors, or even religious freedom?What are we missing?In these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso digs into Scripture, unearthing Jesus' true design for his church--his Ekklesia. He shows how the early church was a radical, countercultural force of people who transformed the hostile, pagan places in which they lived. Here Dr. Silvoso shows how we, in the midst of social, economic, political, and moral chaos, can once again become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving Ekklesia Jesus called us to be.

Dynamic New Teaching from Bestselling Author Ed SilvosoThe word church has many connotations; we think of it as a specific building, as a group of people, even as a long service to sit through. We hardly ever think of it as world-changing--and neither does society. Yet this is exactly what the first-century ekklesia was.In these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso takes you back to the first days of the church. Digging into Scripture, he shows how the New Testament church--devoid of buildings, professional clergy, and religious freedom--was able to transform the hostile, pagan places into which it was born and set in motion a process that changed the world forever.Even more, Silvoso offers a roadmap back to becoming the ekklesia Jesus called his church to be. In the midst of the social, economic, political, and moral chaos in our world today, we possess the hope that people and nations so desperately need--and we can become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving voice Jesus called us to be.A new, in-depth curriculum kit--which features a DVD with 12 brand-new teaching sessions, a group guide for both leaders and participants, and a copy of the book--is also available. Expounding on the book's dynamic teachings, each kit contains everything you need to equip your group to transform the world around them.

God loves us and has a unique blueprint for our life--but it's up to us to find it and live it out. Mingling contemporary stories and biblical anecdotes with practical advice, Silvoso shows how God intervenes in human affairs today to transform people and nations. He also shares five critical paradigms for transformation that are pivotal for change: Discipling Nations, Reclaiming the Marketplace, Looking at Work as Worship, Becoming Salt and Light, and Eliminating Poverty. In these pages, readers will find extraordinary stories about the power of God working through those who discovered their specific purpose. Then they'll be challenged to transform themselves and, by doing so, transform their families, schools, businesses, and nations. Silvoso encourages readers to aim high, knowing that God has entrusted them with great things. "God sees you as a nation transformer," says Silvoso. He has faith in you!

Every Business Is God's BusinessThe notion that labor for profit and worship of God are now, and always have been, worlds apart, is patently false. The Early Church founders were mostly community leaders and highly successful businesspeople. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to Luke, a medical doctor; Matthew, a retired tax collector; Mark, the manager of a family trust; and John, a food supplier. Lydia was "a dealer in purple cloth." Dorcas was a clothes designer. In this expanded version of the bestselling Anointed for Business, Ed Silvoso focuses on the heart of our cities, which is the marketplace. Yet the perceived wall between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to be a barrier to advancing His kingdom. Silvoso shows Christians how to knock down that wall--and participate in an unparalleled marketplace transformation. Only then can we see God's kingdom invade every corner of our world. Readers will appreciate Silvoso's passionate call to men and women in the workplace to rise to their God-appointed positions.The included study guide will enable the reader to put these revolutionary concepts into action.

Ed Silvoso weaves together the solid biblical basis and practical outworking of how to reach entire cities for Christ. He presents a working model for reaching each city through his own personal battle scars and triumphant victories. Every believer will be challenged and equipped for leading seekers into the kingdom of God.
