Bookstores In Church. The Future!

December 15, 2011 in Church Construction, Giveaway with 1 Comment

This is a guest post by Steve Herron. Steve has had the opportunity to work with Churches across the country as the Bookstore Development Manager for Navlink a new division of Navpress specifically focused on serving in church bookstores.

1. In the future, what role will bookstores play in the church?

The church bookstore will be a tool or vessel that helps to fulfill the mission of the Pastoral leadership and the unique calling of that particular congregation. Church owned stores will serve as the bridge for Christian retail from what has been primarily Independent stores. As the retail environment changes and the number of bookstores on the landscape decreases, the church bookstore’s role will be to fill a need in the local community of believers by providing a gathering place for fellowship and a source for discipleship materials.

2. What strategies offer the greatest impact for church based bookstores?

Church bookstores need a plan for success just like any other retail establishment. Here are some thoughts:

Know the unique vision of your church. The entire team must be on the same page to be sure that products are available that tie-in with the church’s focus and theological stand. The vision can change depending on the particular season the church is going through. Continue Reading…

Catalyst Conference 2004 DVD Give Away

January 20, 2011 in Giveaway with 2 Comments

In my many years with Catalyst Conference, Giant Impact, and the Chick Fil A Leadercast (all the same company), I’ve been fortunate enough to accumulate quite a collection of leadership resources. I’ve collected a plethora of books, as well as audio and video lessons. Unfortunately, what I don’t have is the space to keep all of these amazing materials. My pain can be your gain. I initially began to pitch the stuff, but later thought… “Hey, maybe I can share these resources with the kind people who read my blog. “

So… giveaway number one is the 2004 Catalyst Conference speaker sessions 1-8 DVDs (I believe that is the entire conference). It contains sessions from Andy Stanley, John Eldridge, Ted Dekker, Rob Bell Jr., Chuck Colson and many more.

It’s simple to win… just re-tweet me or tweet this link and hash tag http://ow.ly/3H9ts #rcfreebie . By the end of the day next Wednesday (sorry I’m traveling), I will randomly select a winner from the re-tweets and hash tags and contact you via direct message for your shipping info. Enter as many times as you like!

When you’re done, make sure you check out The Catalyst Conference near you!

Thrill of Hope

Message Notes from Andy Stanley @ North Point Church - Thrill of Hope 2

I’m sure we all know of someone who has adopted a child or was adopted themselves. Have you ever wondered if these adoptive families have a greater capacity for love than our heavenly father? In yesterday’s sermon, Andy Stanley focused on the idea that God feels that same instant love that any family feels for their adoptive kid.

Galatians 4:4-7 (NIV)

But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, [5] to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. [6] Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba , Father.” [7] So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

Don’t make your relationship with God transactional. You no longer have to relate to God as a law giver. You now relate to him as father. No longer look through the lens of what you’ve done, but who you are. You have been adopted into the family of God and are his sons and daughters. The real message of Christmas is that God sent his son so that you could become his child, so you could address him as your abba father. Your daddy.

Do you realize what that says about your worth? Long lay the world in sin and ever pinning. Till he appeared and the soul felt it’s worth. And the soul felt it’s worth.

I don’t know what you think your worth to God. Let me tell you what your worth.

You’re worth Christmas!
