Many people think the church has become a social club with little impact on the world. That is not God’s plan for the church. We Are the Church … Let’s Act Like It takes readers through the book of Acts, looking at what it means to be the church of Jesus Christ, the world-changing church that Jesus intended.
Problems in the church are nothing new. The book of Acts is full of them. In We Are the Church … Linda Tower Pevey offers the church practical and biblical ways to live out its mandate to be a church that positively impacts its community and the world.
We Are the Church … Let’s Act Like It is a 7-week study that helps readers see the biblical vision for the church and a vision for what the church can be today. In it, Pevey offers encouragement that the church can truly be a transformative presence in the world, just as the early church was in the book of Acts.
