A corporation with a CEO at the helm? A social organization that does good things for the community? Pastor Ross Parsley believes that neither of those pictures is God's desire. Instead, God wants His church to function as a \u003ci\u003efamily\u003c\/i\u003e--a group of real people who love each other and care for one another's needs, no matter how messy. Our culture is dying for the kind of community that only the church can provide--\u003ci\u003eif\u003c\/i\u003e we are living as God intended: as a family, protecting one another, extending grace, and loving unconditionally. We are not called to be consumers who ask what the church can offer us. We are called to love deeply, fight fairly, and bring hope to a generation of people starving to belong to something greater than themselves. Welcome to the family. You belong here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David C Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434799371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/08\/2008 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ross Parsley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650849894556,"sku":"9781434799371","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e5bd2b6d-81ea-4abd-83e2-56d86f109b08.jpg?v=1603876220","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/messy-church-a-multigenerational-mission-for-gods-family-9781434799371","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
