Biblical Foundations for Ministry

I'm toying with the idea of writing notes here on Wednesdays presenting biblical foundations for ministry. Who knows, if someone is interested it could become a book.

Here's the outline I'm contemplating, even though I don't have time to start today:

1. The Bible and Ministry

• some brief hermeneutics

2. The Bible and Worship

• God as the ultimate concern in ministry
• baptism, communion, and much more

3. The Bible and the Mission

• the whole Gospel

4. The Bible and Congregational Formation

• individual and corporate spiritual formation

5. The Bible and Proclamation

• more hermeneutics
• how it integrates theology and history too

6. The Bible and Congregational Relationships

• Christian fellowship, individual human needs, unity

7. The Bible and Leadership

• principles on how to lead and manage it all
