As we look around at such a divided religious world, we find ourselves wondering: is this really what God wanted His church to be? Most people agree that our man-made religious division is not what God wanted; but most of us dont know what to do about it. In the churches of Christ, we are trying to live out Gods goals for His church, by committing ourselves to pursue undenominational, New Testament Christianity. We believe Gods eternal plan for His church can be trusted, and we desire to restore Gods plan wherever we see that human traditions have messed it up. Is that really possible today? This 13-chapter book walks through some of the God-given beliefs, practices, and goals we find for the church in Scripture, and how churches of Christ are trying to honor Gods plan in those areas. Along the way, we explore several important questions, including: Does the church really matter in our faith? What are some ways we need to get back to Gods plan for the church? What is the big picture on what God wants His church to be doing? How can we keep perspective on Gods goals amidst a divided religious world? We believe this is an important study! Reflect with us, as we explore Scripture together in a spirit of sincere Christian kindness and truth-seeking. As you study it for yourself, we believe youll agree that the biblical goals for the church are important to God, and we hope you will join us in pursuing those goals! This study of Christs church is appropriate for teens, college-aged, young adults, or adults, and it is designed to be useful for Bible classes, for personal study, or for handing out to church visitors and friends.
