{"product_id":"pure-church-9781912154401","title":"Pure Church","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecently there has been a growing concern for the health of gospel churches. But very often that concern comes down to the introduction of a few new items to the church agenda - a Christian foundations course here or a discipleship course there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agenda of this book is different. Its vision is that the whole way a church should be formed, run and led should work for the health of all its members and the thriving of the church as a community of God's people. It is a church with an intentional mindset throughout. It is a church where all the dots are joined up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe church of Christ will be completely pure only in the new creation. But local churches are to be a colony of that 'Pure Church' now. This book is a call to work towards that purity. Through a series of essays it defines, illustrates and commends biblical teaching on: the visible church, conversion, baptism, membership, the Lord's supper, discipleship, discipline, independency, leadership and gospel unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace Publications Trust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912154401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.12w x 0.94d","brand":"David Skull","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45302239428789,"sku":"9781912154401","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4984e7ed-1868-4789-a35a-491a2db0dc34.jpg?v=1744724759","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pure-church-9781912154401","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
