A better definition of God's kingdom changes everything about how we live today - no matter what the future holds.Welcome to a better way of looking at the end: as the culmination of God's grand story. Jesus' most important word in describing the end is the Greek word telos. Telos is the rhythm of human history; the presence of God; and the plot, purpose, and completion of the story. The end is the kingdom of God, and the kingdom is here and now.Sweet and Wilson show how many of the political problems plaguing modern Christianity are rooted in bad theology. God's kingdom is the present reality of the presence of God that gives us hope for today and tomorrow.

Be inspired with a picture for unlocking their potential. Encounter a fresh perspective. Remix culture. While it may help to have a certain amount of intelligence, opportunity, and money, creativity is something that has no limit and has an even stronger correlation to fulfillment. Undeniably, creativity is the foundation for passion and the fuel for purpose. Len Wilson, a creativity director, gives us a book that helps readers move a little closer to achieving a creative, full life, to know who they are, to understand their passions, to learn the craft of creativity as an act of faith, and to surrender these gifts to God.

Pastors and church leaders in many congregations have attempted to form teams for the purpose of planning, or designing, worship. Getting a group of people together in one room is fairly easy. But whether large or small church, staff or volunteer, most discover that it is difficult to form a team that actually works. Using the metaphor of early flight, this resource analyzes how to be a part of a worship design team that works. Major sections include discovering a strategic approach to worship, tips for team composition, a look at how to overcome a series of obstacles that frequently keep teams from finding success together, and some of the usual mechanical difficulties that keep teams grounded."
