Warning: The American Church is Dying...and She Should! The Church is losing ground in America. In "The Crucified Church," seasoned pastor and church planting expert Joel Rissinger insightfully and candidly shows that revival or renewal of an impotent, biblically deprived church isn't enough. With great love for the "Bride of Christ," Pastor Joel shows why the death of a church is often its God-given pathway to positive change and thus, to life! In "The Crucified Church," you will be equipped to: * Explore the biblical foundation for church death and rebirth. * Crucify unbiblical doctrine to ensure that the gospel you preach is everything Jesus is, was, taught, lived, did, and will do in the future. * Crucify church structure, to ensure our churches are led more as a theocracy than a democracy. * Crucify church vision, to ensure it is based on the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. *Crucify missions, to ensure they center on church planting and multiplication. *Crucify discipleship strategies that don't include biblical mentoring. And much, much more.
