Unleash the three elements of Christ’s earthly mission that ultimately shape our own

Transform the impact of your calling through a deep understanding of how your spiritual gifts, practices, and encounters with the spirit of god converge. 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:

  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.

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.

Video study resources are included with the book! 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.
