A church can preach every week and still leave its members unprepared to recognize error. It can defend sound doctrine while overlooking people who need its care. It can draw a crowd while giving visitors little understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. How can a congregation recognize these problems and begin to correct them?
The Church Cure: Overcoming Church Problems returns to the first-century congregations to show how Christ and His apostles addressed failures in teaching, leadership, worship, and fellowship. It examines how pastors can teach difficult passages, how congregations can weigh accusations against elders fairly, and how believers can receive someone who has repented. It also shows how churches can equip their members to explain their faith in everyday conversations.
Written for pastors, elders, teachers, and church members, this book helps readers identify a neglected responsibility, act on what Scripture requires, and follow through.
