When someone uses the word 'church', what comes into your mind? A building where a congregation meets? A room inside such a building? The main Sunday meeting? A denomination?

Graham Beynon shows that when the Bible talks about 'church', it is always referring only to people, and a particular sort of people at that. From a range of key passages in the New Testament, he explains what church is, what it is for, how it is to work, how it is to be led, and what it means to belong to God's new community in Christ.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Originally published 2005 and reviewed 2007 This is a straight-forward, down-to-earth book about the community of those who trust Jesus being known by their love for one-another, and what this means for Christians today. Modern individualism and self-sufficiency is not the way; only interdependence will enable the church family to grow in unity and show God's wisdom to the world, as he intends. The church is God's idea, and the gospel can still transform it and its members through biblical example and teaching, despite inevitable mistakes and failures. Beynon avoids any stereotype organisation for this, although showing house-groups can be important in this intimate, family-style nurturing, as we accept and help each other grow in knowledge of God in various ways.
