What is the Church? Why does it need to exist, and why is it so important? In this important addition to the Good Portion series, Erin Wheeler unpacks what the Bible says about the Church and invites us to see the beauty of the Bride of Christ. She begins by ensuring that we understand what the Church is before turning our attention to the specific things that churches do.

 This book not only ensures that our minds and hearts are filled with correct doctrine, but encourages us to take steps towards putting our understanding into practice.   ContentsSeries PrefaceIntroduction:It Doesn´t Matter Until It DoesPart One: What Is the Church?God´s Idea: His Plan and Purpose for the ChurchA Roaring Fire: The Importance and Privilege of Church MembershipA Gathering That Glorifies God: The Mission of the ChurchPart Two: What Does the Church Look Like?A Devotion to the Word: Preaching, Teaching, Reading, Singing, PrayingA Visible Picture of the Invisible: Baptism and the Lord´s SupperA Pursuit of Holiness: Church Unity and DisciplineA Flock with a Job to Do: Congregationalism, Elders, and DeaconsA Different Kind of Community: Life with One AnotherConclusion: A Heavenly GatheringSelected BibliographyScripture Index
