What Is the Church? Foundational Truths from God’s WordAt the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians in Africa numbered approximately nine million—by the end, that number had grown to more than 380 million. As the number of Christians continues to grow, African pastors are often overwhelmed and in desperate need of guidance.Drawing from three decades of pastoral experience in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe has written a comprehensive handbook specifically for African pastors and church leaders. Structured around twenty commonly asked questions about God’s design for the church, this helpful resource covers topics ranging from the definition of church and the role of church members to the importance of doctrine. Through this book, Mbewe aims to equip pastors and leaders with biblical principles that will “permeate the landscape of Africa and transform its churches for generations to come.”Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks.

A Short Introduction to the Sovereignty of God for the Christian LifeGod’s sovereignty is difficult for most people to wrap their minds around even when they’re not going through difficult times; the topic raises many questions about salvation, evangelism, sin, and suffering. But when difficult circumstances arise, many believers ask, “Is God really in control?” In this addition to the Church Questions series, pastor Conrad Mbewe explains the Bible’s teaching on God’s sovereignty and addresses the common questions that it raises. He shows how it affects one’s outlook on salvation, suffering, prayer, and worship in the Christian life. This short and accessible work is ideal for anyone currently struggling with the sovereignty of God or for new Christians wanting to learn more about God’s sovereignty.  Part of the Church Questions Series: Developed to give biblical insight into common questions Global Perspective: Written by Zambian author and pastor Conrad Mbewe Useful for Seekers: Accessible for those new to faith or looking to learn more

Exploring Unity as a Fruit of the Gospel Christians most effectively serve others and advance God’s kingdom when they are in biblical unity with one another. Unfortunately, modern Christians seem to be divided on countless issues related to ministry, culture, the church, and even unity itself. Some prioritize organizational unity over gospel truth, while others only seek unity with those who share their same doctrinal beliefs.In this short, accessible guide, author Conrad Mbewe explores unity as a fruit of the gospel. He finds that biblical unity is only achieved after understanding what God has done through Christ and how it is continuously executed by the Holy Spirit. This biblically centered book encourages readers to respond to Paul’s apostolic plea of “standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27), embracing unity as a valuable, God-given blessing.  Encourages Unity: Explores unity as a fruit of the gospel that is only understood through what God has done through Christ and executed by the Holy SpiritPractical Study: This concise guide encourages Christians to stand firm in the spirit and in unity with others A Part of the Growing Gospel Integrity Series: Created in partnership with Union School of Theology

Conrad Mbewe en mi opinión, es uno de los mejores predicadores bíblicos en el mundo, conocido por su claridad, precisión, meticulosidad, valor, perspicacia y fidelidad intransigente al texto de la Escritura. Este excelente libro personifica todas estas cualidades. Llenará un gran vacío en la lista de recursos pastorales esenciales.John MacArthurPastor, Grace Community Church, Los Angeles, CAPresidente, The Master's College y The Master's Seminary, Los Angeles, USASi todos los pastores e iglesias siguieran la enseñanza en este libro, ¡entonces seguramente la vida de la iglesia crecería en números y en la fe!Rev Benjamin A. Kwashi, PhDArzobispo anglicano en Jos, NigeriaLa Predicación Pastoral está lleno de percepciones bíblicas para equipar pastores para lo que debe ser uno de los más cruciales, y sin embargo más desafiantes, llamados al liderazgo en África hoy – el pastor en la iglesia local. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a compañeros trabajadores cuya tarea es alimentar el rebaño del Señor.Rev Moss NtlhaPastor y secretario general de Evangelical Alliance of South Africa [Alianza Evangélica de Sudáfrica]

Insights from the Lives of Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga for Pioneer Mission and Church Planting Today deals with the question of the hand over process of pioneer missionaries to the first indigenous leaders in church planting missions situations. It recognises the fact this process when wrongly handled has caused a lot of harm to the work of missions. The case study in this thesis, which took place at the start of Baptist work in Zambia, shows one example in which it was done exceptionally well. The researcher also uses biblical interpretation and qualitative empirical analysis to augment his research. He finally posits that the mutual respect and mutual admiration between Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga is what led to this admirable result.

More and more pulpits are occupied by motivational speakers rather than preachers.Church congregations are not being given a comprehensive, biblical understanding of the faith. Drawing on his own experience as a pastor in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe tackles issues such as the content of pastoral preaching, how pastoral preaching relates to church life, finding the time to prepare pastoral sermons, and dealing with discouragement. Throughout the book, it is clear that the author’s conviction is to see preachers grow strong churches, to build a people for God.
