Convergence

$24.99

This comprehensive resource aims at understanding the intersection of spiritual gifts (love, word, and power), spiritual disciplines (or practices), and unusual works of the Spirit (revival) in the life of the local church.

When we think this, we neglect Scripture where it tells us that Jesus, though always God, deliberately chose to limit his divine attributes and power. Looking at Jesus’s life and ministry Thompson asks, “If Jesus chose to limit his divine attributes and power, how did he do all of this?”

Here Thompson finds the convergence of three things that should ultimately shape our own lives:

1. Jesus used spiritual disciplines (or practices) to walk with the Father and to
develop and learn as we do.
2. Jesus used spiritual gifts (not his inherent power) to carry out his ministry while
on earth.
3. Jesus used the promptings he received from the Father and the Spirit to lead his
disciples into moments of revival.

About the Book

Many Christians and ministry leaders think that much of what Jesus did on earth was because he was God. When we think this, we neglect Scripture where it tells us that Jesus, though always God, deliberately chose to limit his divine attributes and power. Looking at Jesus’s life and ministry Thompson asks, “If Jesus chose to limit his divine attributes and power, how did he do all of this?”

Here Thompson finds the convergence of three things that should ultimately shape our own lives:

In Convergence, you will come to realize that Jesus as God come in flesh isn’t just our Savior and our Lord; he is also our model for understanding what the normal Christian life should look like.
