Equipping Members of Hope in Christ Bible Church in Berkley, Michigan, to Be Zealous for Good Deeds

Abstract

This project features the indispensable priority of ministers of the Word equipping their members in being more zealous for good deeds. The undergirding presupposition is that this is accomplished most effectively by expository preaching and application of the Word, specifically from the book of Titus. The opening chapter provides a context that affirms the paramount importance of zeal for good deeds being pursued for the glory of God in a local church. Chapter 2 lays out the biblical and theological foundation for a life that is zealous for good deeds based on the entire book of Titus. Chapter 3 then focuses on particular areas of good deeds every church should be pursuing, both in and outside the church context. Chapter 4 details the process of the entire project from beginning to end. The project culminates in an overall assessment of the Zealous for Good Deeds project in chapter 5.
