The Message of the Church: Assemble The People Before Me (The Bible Speaks Today Themes)
Digital Logos Edition
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
This series studies themes from the central biblical passages which bear upon them, for individual Christians, study groups, a leadership team, or the pastor preparing a sermon. Different churches must apply what they learn in different ways, but God wrote the Bible with your church in mind, and so this book contains an ‘Action and Study Guide,’ to encourage your leaders in obedient practice.
But we need to ask whether ‘church’ is the right place to start. Many contemporary writers assume a different perspective, which is that because God is a missionary God, we should begin with his mission, and let our doctrine and practice of the church follow.
