church bible study guide: the story of jesus on display to the world

The purpose of The Jesus Bible Study Series is to help readers understand that Jesus is front and center throughout the Bible. He is as visible on the first page of Genesis as he is on the last page in Revelation--as present in the Garden of Eden as he is in the garden tomb and the new heavens and new earth. As readers follow this thread, they will discover a new depth to the Bible’s meaning as they come to discover Christ in every chapter of the story.

In Church, the fourth study in this series, readers will explore how God brought together a new group of people who have been redeemed by Jesus and have been formed to live on mission with him. While churches come in all shapes and sizes, the true Church of Jesus is comprised of all who have confessed him as Savior and Lord. This living organism--his body, the Church--serves to extend his grace and truth on earth.
