  • "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." Those of us called to Christian ministry are commissioned and sent by Jesus, just as he himself was called and sent by the Father. Thus we naturally pattern our ministries after Christ's example. But distinctively Christian service involves the Spirit as well, just as Jesus himself accomplished his ministry in the power of the Spirit. Thus the whole Trinity--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--gives shape to truly authentic Christian ministry. Though as Christians we all affirm the doctrine of the Trinity, many of us might struggle to explain how understanding the Trinity could actually shape our ministry. Stephen Seamands demonstrates how a fully orbed theology of the Trinity transforms our perception and practice of vocational ministry. Theological concepts like relationality and perichoresis have direct relevance to pastoral life and work, especially in unfolding a trinitarian approach to relationships, service and mission. A thoroughly trinitarian outlook provides the fuel for our ministry of Jesus Christ, to the Father, through the Holy Spirit, on behalf of the church and the world." Essential reading for pastors, parachurch workers, counselors, missionaries, youth ministers and all who are called to any vocation of Christian ministry.

    Comfort Meets Coastal Style – A New Favorite Tee
    Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Heather
    The Costa Del Mar Costa Topwater T‑Shirt is everything you want in a casual, everyday shirt. The material is super soft and lightweight, making it perfect for warm weather or long days outdoors. It feels breathable and comfortable without being too thin. The fit is spot on—true to size with a relaxed feel that doesn’t look baggy. The design is clean and stylish, with that classic Costa vibe that’s perfect whether you’re out on the water or just hanging out. After multiple washes, it’s held up great—no shrinking, fading, or losing its shape. You can tell it’s made with quality materials that are built to last. If you’re looking for a comfortable, good-looking t-shirt that represents a laid-back coastal lifestyle, this one is a great pick. Definitely worth it!

    Great shirt, runs a tad small
    Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
    Great looking shirt and good value for the money. Depending on your build you may want to order a size larger. I'm 6'4" and 207. I typically wear an XL and ordered an XL. It fits me but is a little snug there is not much room in the shoulders and sleeves or body for that matter. If I were back to my previous weight of 245 with a larger waist I would have to return it and get a XXL.
