The House That Jesus Built

About this book

At a time when churches seem far from God's design, bestselling author Natalie Runion challenges us as Christians to follow the Bible's blueprint for building holy, healthy churches that disciple holy, healthy followers of Christ. In recent years, we've seen the "great resignation" in Church leadership and attendance, the devastation of spiritual abuse, and the breakdown of faith within our culture. In The House That Jesus Built, Natalie encourages all of us to recognize our role as Jesus' disciples in rebuilding our churches, brick by brick. With personal stories and practical ideas, she guides us to: Be honest about past disappointments while still engaging with our church communities Ask how we as Christ followers have contributed to pain in our churches and how we can help heal one another Use the book of Acts as the blueprint for empowering the family of God to be the family of God Understand how even the apostles wrestled with their places in the early Church but remained committed to love God, love people, and make disciples Be unified on the foundation of Jesus Christ The House That Jesus Built will stir your heart to see God's churches realigned with the Great Commission and the Great Command. As Natalie reminds us, we are the Church. We are the ones who can partner with Jesus to build something beautiful out of the rubble--and back on the Rock.
