The Spirit-filled Small Group: Leading Your Group to Experience the Spiritual Gifts - Softcover

"This is an excellent resource to help believers identify their spiritual gifts in the context of the small group. This book also equips small group leaders to mobilize each member to exercise his or her spiritual gift. Read this book and watch your small group come alive!" Pat Robertson, chairman & CEO, Christian Broadcasting Network; host, The 700 Club __ "Nothing can bring vibrancy and life to a small group more than each member discovering, developing and using his or her spiritual gifts. This timely book is a practical roadmap showing you how to get there and how to activate your full potential for ministry. I encourage you to read it and to use it!" C. Peter Wagner, chancellor, Wagner Leadership Institute ___ "Throughout history the renewal of the Church has been triggered by the rediscovery of God's promise in Acts 2:: I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh." This work will guide its readers to the recognition of that reality as an essential factor in small group ministries--one of the most effective means of outreach in our postmodern era." Paul E. Pierson, senior professor of history of mission, Fuller Theological Seminary ___ "Once again Joel Comiskey has shared a book that will help to shape the cell churches in the generation to come. His insights are fresh and biblical!" Ralph Neighbour, founder, TouchGlocal ____ "Joel Comiskey has again provided the Body of Christ with an important tool to see God's Kingdom revealed in and through small groups. If the Holy Spirit's presence, empowerment and gifts do not infuse life into the group, it becomes nothing more than a Gospel gimmick for church growth. The Spirit-Filled Small Group is a must-read for every pastor or leader desiring to see first-century Christianity restored in the 21st century." Chuck Crismier, founder, Save America Ministries; radio host, Viewpoint"

Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God's supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be. The first key distinction of this book is the spiritual perspective it gives to small group ministry. This book is a practical reference guide to help small group leadership trust the Holy Spirit to guide and direct their small group ministry. The second major goal of this book is to help small group leaders and members discover and use their spiritual gifts. The book examines each of the twenty-one spiritual gifts listed in the New Testament and offers practical insights on how to use each gift in the context of the small group.
