Publisher's summary

This book is a call back to original Christianity. There is reason for discontentment with church as we’ve known it. Scripture reveals King Jesus started something very different than what we commonly encounter today. The Church Jesus brought forth in the first century, despite its trials and temptations, was united, loving, faithful, and powerful. It ruled spiritually. It “turned the whole world upside down” through evangelism (Acts 17:6). It produced faithful Believers and loving martyrs. What happened to it? Can it emerge again? YES! • The New Covenant leadership Jesus initiated • The dignity and limitless potential of each Disciple in Jesus • The restoration of Biblical elders/overseers • What “church” really means—this will bring us freedom and unity • The Legislature Jesus said He’d build • The five equipping ministries and beyond them • Centering around Jesus, not individual ministries • The five essential, early Christian activities • The need for full participation of ALL disciples “This is one of the most impacting and educational books I’ve ever read for my spiritual growth.” —Anonymous Chinese Believer “David has exposed truths that have been covered, without which Christians have been held back from the full life that God would have them to live. This book is a must read. I would challenge everyone young and old to consider what David has put forth here.” —RC Wedner, a shepherd among God’s People “I recommend it to all, from bishops of cathedrals, to “laymen” attempting to start a house church. You need this!...I have been a church planter, an elder, a pastor, a missionary, and a student of the church in the Scriptures and in history for more than 50 years. I have seldom seen a book about Jesus’ Church more carefully documented with the Scriptures...People who are committed to this most important kind of spiritual, but very human, community called “church” should read it soon!” —Gary Henley, President of International Outreach Ministries, author of, "The Quiet Revolution" “David O’Brien’s book on finding Jesus’ Church is a light in the twilight over God’s People. His voice is salient and powerful in the cry of the Spirit for the Church today.” —Evan Wiggs, a loving, powerful evangelist, author of "Engines of Heaven" “David O’Brien has given us a wonderful tool. His book is concise and Biblically based. I pray that many leaders are able to get a copy.” —David Witt, CEO of Spirit of Martyrdom Ministries & Associate Representative for The Voice of the Martyrs, co-author of, "Fearless Love" “This is an excellent addition to the many books written in recent years about GOD's design for His Church. I recommend it to all.” —Nate Krupp, house-meeting pioneer, author of "The Church Triumphant at the End of the Age" and "God’s Simple Plan for His Church - and Your Place in It"
