Church: What Was God Thinking? by Bruce Isom

Ekklesia = Church — What is it supposed to look like?

Fellowship = Participation — What is my Role?

Ministry = Service — What is my Gift?

Have you ever wondered…

• If church today is how it was meant to be?
• What the church would look like if we put aside the traditions history has added and simply follow what is clearly written in the New Testament?
• What people in the early Church would say about modern ministry?
• If you have a place in the Body of Christ, and if so, what is it?

Do you hope that Heaven will be much better than your Sunday morning
service? Does it even have to be on Sunday?  Does your church feel like a left shoe on a right foot — something that just does not seem to fit right? Maybe there is a reason. Have you ever longed to see something more, something different, something extraordinary come out of your church?


In Church: What Was God Thinking? Bruce Isom:  

• Gives a refreshing perspective from Scripture on what Church is meant to be: Including what the Bible says that God likes and dislikes in a Christian community
• Focuses on principles that can be applied to any church structure, whether traditional church, cell church, house church or any other type of gathering.
• Describes what spiritual maturity is and what it is not, and ways the believer can mature
• Describes how Christians from different maturity levels can bless each other.
• And so much more!

 In this thought provoking book, Bruce Isom shares insights that will challenge your perspective of Church. It will help leaders rethink how they approach ministry and believers to view Church like  they never have  before.  He gives a picture of Christian Community that is vastly different from many churches today.

Since committing his life to the Lord in 1974, Bruce Isom has had a passion to see church become all it was meant to be. In 1988 he became a missionary in Hong Kong serving the Lord with his family in various types of ministry, including church planting. He longs to see all believers in the Body of Christ become mature, living out their full potential and fulfilling their God-given roles in the Church.
