Rather than fearing these changes, the author welcomes the opportunities preachers have in this age of heightened spiritual sensitivity.  The goal of this Project is to help preachers mobilize believers to reach unchurched people.  In postmodern America, increasing numbers of people have little to no church background.  Believers with a church background often struggle to relate to unchurched friends.  The Project contends that the preacher's sermon content and style of delivery can help equip believers to reach unchurched, unsaved friends for Christ.  The primary question addressed is: What kind of preaching most effectively mobilizes a church community to reach an unchurched postmodern community for Christ?"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791131016144879616,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:40:47.416Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:30Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:29:47Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"2a0b2f4e-3804-479e-a034-3482a2729c9e","accessControl_ssim":["0c7aca4c-0250-4615-bd51-86f50c0edad3"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["A.

Simpson's message was the Fourfold Gospel, Christ as the Christian's Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King.  The message was taken both to north America and to the world through his denomination, the Christian and Missionary Alliance.  The study looks at the five movements that made up the Third Great Awakening and Simpson's contribution to each one.  These five movements included evangelism, the Holiness Movement, Healing Movement, Premillennial Movement and urban and worldwide evangelism.  Simpson played a unique role in each.  The final part of the thesis looks on Simpson's influence today on the present church and on the Christian and Missionary Alliance. As the result of studies and interviews, it shows his message's continuing influence today and the influence in the future.  As the church goes into the 21st century, the Fourfold Gospel is still being proclaimed as it was during the Third Great Awakening."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791130326851911680,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:29:50.054Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:30Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:52:26Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"97981272-013d-4488-904b-0fc8230470e9","accessControl_ssim":["26816cc1-cefe-4c54-8eb1-c1158adf3a2b"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Identifying, developing, and empowering potential leaders in the local church"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:29Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:33:48Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["ca80a8c0-744d-4d3f-aef0-2d4809ec6317"],"hasLease_ssim":["cdd8f0b1-dfc9-4955-ad86-132a23bc29f5"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Garth M Rosell"],"year_tesim":["2004"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Glenn C Prescott"],"publisher_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Leadership--Religious aspects--Christianity","Parishes"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This thesis looks at how churches can identify potential leaders in their congregations who have leadership qualities, abilities, and skills; how churches can then develop these identified potential leaders to the point of being prepared for leadership positions; and, after identifying and developing these potential leaders, how churches can then empower them to actually become involved in ministry leadership.

However, rarely do they achieve a balanced blend of all three relationships in mission.  The thesis of this paper is that a western evangelical mission society could remain centrally committed to pioneer missions (mission-to-world), while also nurturing healthy mission-with-church and mission-with-mission relationships. The author hypothesizes that in order to achieve this, the mission society must have a clear identity as a nurturer of pioneer 'apostolic bands' (mission teams), a flexible ecclesiological framework centered in foundational New Testament teaching, and an experience of missional interdependence with the new churches and their mission-sending groups based on the 'apostolic bond' (the relationship between the gospel messenger and those who receive Christ through that person or group).

The Russian Orthodox Church with its lack of spiritual Reformation and its suppression of evangelistic movements could not change the moral values of Russian society.  Because of persecution the Russian Evangelical Church never had the opportunity to affect the society.  Sadly, the Western Christian organizations that came to Russia in the late 1980s were not designed to fit the Russian environment and consequently had no moral impact on the Russian people.  Thus, Russia faces a national dilemma: the need to overcome its chaos and become a true democratic society.  Although past efforts have failed, Christianity still holds the key.  Basic moral values need to be reintroduced in to the conscience and belief system of the Russian people. Only a healthy Christian Church can train up a new generation who will build a governmental and economic system based on the revealed truth of God's Word.  It is the hope of the Russian Center for church Multiplication (RCCM), with its healthy church model, ten principles, evaluation, and accountability tools, that Russia will emerge as a country of moral stability.

Therefore, the preacher/pastor must include therapeutic sermons within the preaching calendar.  The purpose of this research was to focus on the necessity and the nature of preaching expository sermons that are therapeutic from biblical, theological, and historical perspectives.  The concept of therapeutic absorbency was introduced as being a necessary part of therapeutic preaching.  A defense of expository preaching as the appropriate method for preaching therapeutic sermons was also given.  The literature review integrated the contributions of authors on preaching and on preaching as it relates to pastoral care. This served as the basis for the development of a curriculum for a workshop.
