In 2013, Compass Bible Church (Aliso Viejo, CA) put on an Equipped Conference titled, “Making the Big Church Small,” because the pastoral staff sensed a need to train people to engage in small groups faithfully and effectively.

Ten years and five church plants later, our goal with this book remains much the same—to equip Christians with a practical guide for engaging in small groups. Each chapter is written by a Compass pastor who draws upon biblical principles and hands-on ministry experience.

Though not exhaustive, the selected topics cover essential components of small group ministry that are scripturally based and fundamental to carrying out the Great Commission. Regardless of your current involvement in church small groups, we invite you to work through this material to become better prepared and more useful to the Lord in his Church.

Nothing is more fundamental importance for every person on the planet than our need to get right with God. And while our Creator has revealed and reiterated his reconciling message on page after page of the Bible, many have opted for a popularized, truncated, sound-byte version of the gospel. In Getting It Right Mike Fabarez goes back to the Bible and thoughtfully walks us step-by-step through each major component of the gospel message, from God’s diagnoses of the universal human problem, to the great lengths God has gone to solve it. Though many today are increasingly infatuated with what Christianity might mean for this life, Mike Fabarez wants us to be crystal clear about what God has said about getting it right with him now so that we will be ready for the next life.

When a church gets serious about interceding for Biblical preaching, God inevitably does something great. Prayer is arguably the most underutilized weapon in the arsenal God has given us to see our churches empowered and Christ’s kingdom advanced. In this challenging little book, we are exhorted to pray earnestly for the transformational proclamation and eager reception of God’s Word each and every Sunday.

Jesus spoke of the urgent need for his listeners to put his words into practice. Every text of Scripture and every biblical sermon demands a response. This book is designed to aid the preachers of God’s word to always keep this in view. Many books describe the general process of communicating the meaning of the truth of Scripture, but in this book Mike Fabarez persuasively contends that there is much more which can be done by today’s biblical preachers to study, pray, and proclaim those truths in a manner that brings about the impact that God intends his word to have. This practical and informative book helps to fill the void in many homiletical textbooks, which often fail to put the necessary emphasis on how accurate and Christ-honoring application of the Bible can be achieved.

Vows, promises, pledges, commitments and resolves have played an important and enduring role in God’s economy. Men and women in the Bible and throughout church history have made good use of resolute statements and prayers, which God’s Spirit has capitalized on to change lives, influence the world and propagate the gospel.

In Resolved to Follow Christ, Mike Fabarez provides us with a year’s worth of weekly resolutions preceded by brief biblical reflections that will challenge your heart, engage your mind, and prompt your will.
