El Diácono Francisco Enderle, ex Director Ejecutivo del Diaconado Permanente de la Arquidiócesis de Washington y el ex Director de Formación del Clero de la Diócesis de Sacramento comenzó en el año 2000 a escribir homilías en español para publicación en Internet. Este libro es el segundo tomo de la serie Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle C. Contiene 57 homilías en español, con sus traducciones al inglés. Fue escrito para los predicadores que prefieren leer las homilías en libro en vez de en el Internet. La diferencia entre este libro bilingüe y otros es que las homilías fueron escritas en español y traducidas al inglés y no al revés, como se suele hacer en otros libros. Esperamos que estos libros sean útiles tanto para los predicadores de habla Hispana como para los de habla Inglesa que tienen que predicar en español.Deacon Frank Enderle, former Executive Director of the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Washington and former Director of Clergy Formation in the Diocese of Sacramento, began writing and publishing homilies in Spanish on the Internet in 2000. This book is the second in the Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle B series. It contains Spanish homilies with English translations. It is published specifically for those who preach who prefer to read the homilies in book format rather than on the Internet. The difference between this bilingual book and others is that these homilies were originally written in Spanish and translated into English, not vice-versa, as in other books. We hope that these books will be useful to native Spanish speakers who preach as well as to native English speakers who find they must preach in Spanish.

How Can We Know What the Church Is Supposed to Do?Jesus commissioned the local church to carry out a mission. Yet local churches often disagree over exactly what Jesus commanded them to do, leading them to align their mission with current political or economic trends. So what does the Bible have to say?In this short book, Jonathan Leeman argues from Scripture that the mission of the church is first and foremost to make disciples-the task that each local assembly is called to do collectively-and to be disciples-the task for each individual Christian. He equips readers to obey this disciple-making mission both inside and outside the local church as they seek to follow Christ's call and make God's glory known in all the world.

This booklet gives readers the biblical basis and practical tips for sharing the gospel with those who aren't Christians, demonstrating how evangelism is doable for all believers, even those who feel like they aren't particularly gifted in evangelism.

What makes for good preaching? In this accessible Hausa-language volume-written for preachers and preachers in training-pastor David Helm outlines what must be believed and accomplished to become a faithful expositor of God's Word. In addition to offering practical, step-by-step guidance for preachers, this short book will equip all of us to recognize good preaching when we hear it.

Feelings are complicated and fickle, yet they often reveal what you really want or think. When you don't feel like going to church, something much deeper may be going on that must be addressed by God's Spirit, through his word. Gunner Gundersen diagnoses the human heart and offers biblical insight on the importance of being involved in the local church¿even when you don't feel like it.

Does what a church believes about how people become Christians change how we do evangelism? In this concise book, Michael Lawrence explains the doctrine of conversion and helps us consider the relationship between what we believe about how people are saved and our approach to sharing the gospel in the context of the local church. Readers of this book will understand how the local church should participate in the conversion process through ordinary means, such as biblical preaching and intentional relationships.

What Is the Role of Corporate Worship in the Church?Christians worship God at church every week, but many don't know exactly what worship is or why they do it. For some, it's a warm-up for the sermon. For others, it's a "me-and-Jesus" moment. What is the biblically informed way to view corporate worship?In this book, Matt Merker shows that corporate worship is the gathering of God's people by his grace, for his glory, for their good, and before a watching world. He offers biblical insights and practical suggestions for making worship what it truly is meant to be: a foretaste of God's people worshiping together for eternity in the new creation.

Entrepreneurs may feel called to grow whatever catches their interest, including churches.But Pastors are not called to be entrepreneurs. Pastors are not called to grow the church. Pastors are called to grow the people. The kingdom of darkness rejoices when we turn our focus to anything that competes with Christ for our attention. Anything, no matter how important man thinks it is, that competes with Christ for our focus is clearly inferior and not what we have been called to lift up.A Pastor's focus is and always truly must be on Christ.
