In Pursuit of the Greatest Gift: What the Love Chapter Reveals about Godly Living!
Imagine what you could achieve for the Kingdom if you reshaped your whole life around the pursuit of God's greatest gift-Christ-like love. If you haven't found your spiritual love connection with Jesus, then it's past time to let go of the things that won't last and embrace the eternal gift of His love! Let godly love break down the walls that envy, arrogance, rudeness, and other byproducts of your human nature have erected in the corners of your heart. Dr. John R. Strubhar, longtime Lead Pastor of churches in Illinois, Indiana, and California, navigates the nitty-gritty details of love as Paul laid out in the love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, so that you can show Jesus to the world in everyth...
Other-Centered Leadership
Most books on leadership focus on what a leader is and what a leader can do to improve himself or herself as a leader. After 50 years of pastoral leadership in various capacities as a Lead Pastor, Executive Pastor, District Superintendent, Adjunct College and Seminary professor, Conference Speaker and Consultant I have come to the conclusion that the most important aspect of leadership is how the leader engages and serves his/her ministry colleagues and the larger church constituency. Transformative leaders have the uncanny ability to relate well to all levels of leadership in the church, the staff, governing board, ministry leaders and congregational members. Most pastors are good theologia...
Other-Centered Leadership
After fifty years of being a leader in various capacities, author Dr. John R. Strubhar has concluded that the most important aspect of leadership is how the leader engages and serves his/her ministry colleagues and the larger church constituency. In Other-Centered Leadership, he calls all leaders back to the basics of leadership, teaching pastors how to engage with others in a relational capacity that reflects the clear teachings of God’s word. Focusing on putting others first, Strubhar discusses how leadership rises and falls on the ability of the leader to treat ministry colleagues with love, acceptance, and accountability. The ability to respond biblically to a ministry colleague is the prerequisite for a healthy ministry team. Strubhar offers simple principles, gleaned from God’s word and interaction with hundreds of leaders, to stimulate a new generation of pastoral leaders who will treat others better than themselves for the glory of God.
Life Worth Living: What the True Story of Jonah Teaches Us about God and Living on His Terms
If life occasionally seems to spin out of control, it's time to try living on God's terms instead of your own. Imagine a life worth living-in which you aren't wondering what's coming next, or where you're supposed to be, but instead you allow God to guide your choices. All you need is willingness to align your heart to His. Dr. John Strubhar, longtime Lead Pastor of churches in Indiana, Illinois, and California, walks us through a fresh look at the biblical narrative of Jonah. Pastor Strubhar helps readers unpack four chapters of crucially important lessons about the way God intends us to live-with faith, love, grace, and compassion. In this book, you'll learn: - How God can help you redirec...
What Ever Happened to Respect?
Is there something taking place in our beloved country? It seems the respect for our government, society, and religious institutions are eroding. America is losing its influence and respect as a world leader. Many of our citizens believe our country is beyond saving from absolute destruction. They say we have crossed the threshold of no return. There are many reasons for these thoughts of doom, but one glaring observation stands out. Our citizens are not focused on fundamental family traditions, less government involvement in our lives and strong Christian ethics. There is a silent movement away from respecting the leaders of our government, communities and churches. Our minds are bombarded ...

Preaching Evangelistically
What is the point of preaching? With so many agendas competing for pulpit time these days, it can be easy to forget the exact purpose of our Christian calling: to proclaim God's salvation through Jesus who died and is now resurrected. Preaching Evangelistically looks at the different elements of gospel preaching and how they are best used to effectively proclaim Jesus. They include: sermon setting, text selection, preparation, preaching with biblical authority, giving an invitation, and "hiding behind the cross as you preach." Also here are eyes-on text examples of evangelistic sermons from selected preachers. Cowriter Al Fasol states, "The purpose of our book is to provide information on preaching evangelistically with integrity, with biblical accuracy, with appeal to contemporary listeners, and absolutely for the glory of God."--Back cover.
Preaching the Old Testament
Many pastors find it easier to preach on the New Testament than the Old Testament, with its powerful and often shocking narrative, prophetic warnings and calls to holiness. For many preachers seeking to make the Bible relevant, it's far easier--and safer--to stay out of the woods and plow the well-worn fields of the newer canon. Preaching the Old Testament equips pastors to journey into the forest and find a passion and confidence for preaching on the Old Testament. This book helps them keep up on their Hebrew, understand the themes of the Old Testament, and unpack Jesus' foundational text to take their congregations to a deeper understanding of Christ himself.
Fuel the Fire
The evangelistic focus of the Southern Baptist Convention has diminished, creating unprecedented challenges. In Fuel the Fire, Chuck Kelley intends to start a conversation. A denomination accustomed to the inevitability of growth is in the grip of decline. By remembering the evangelistic strategies and core convictions that have strengthened the Southern Baptist Convention since its humble beginnings, and by cultivating the theological focus that enhances modern-day evangelistic engagement, readers will find new urgency in carrying out the work of evangelism. Kelley emphasizes that strategies are important; however, our efforts are in vain apart from a stirring of the Holy Spirit.
