Publisher Description
The Reformers viewed the gospel as not merely one thing among many in the life of a church but rather the means by which the church exists. When the gospel is rightly declared and applied to God’s people, the church becomes “a creature of the Word.” She understands, embraces, and lives out the reality of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection in more than her doctrinal statement. The gospel impacts all the church is and does.
Creature of the Word lays out this concept in full, first examining the rich, scripture-based beauty of a Jesus-centered church, then clearly providing practical steps toward forming a Jesus-centered church. Authors Matt Chandler, Eric Geiger, and Josh Patterson write what will become a center- ing discussion piece for those whose goal is to be part of a church that has its theology, culture, and practice completely saturated in the gospel.
Customer Reviews
Challenging and Deeply Convicting
This is an extremely helpful resource that will show you how centering your church or ministry around the Gospel is the right way, but not always the popular way. This has helped bring some things to mind about how I lead at church and my own life and the Spirit has convicted me of them. This is extremely heavy on scriptures and always put it way above our ideas.
Get it. It's easy one of the most important books I have ever read.
