This is an all-too-frequent experience in a growing church. For churches experiencing this dilemma, a common solution is to add another service or location. This seems like a cost-effective fix. Besides, no one wants to turn away non-Christians. But is it the best option?\nJonathan Leeman presents a series of biblical, theological, and pastoral arguments to help reorient our minds to a scriptural definition of church. He makes the case that maintaining a single assembly best follows the Bible, fulfills the Great Commission, and furthers our partnership with other churches. Makes the case that keeping presence and authority together best allow a church to protect the gospel Offers compelling alternatives to the multisite model for dealing with growing attendance other than simply building a bigger space, such as planting, revitalizing, learning to work with other churches, or encouraging attendees to attend a church closer to where they live Sets forth a biblical definition of church based on the words of Jesus and the New Testament model Focuses on long-term gospel ministry rather than short-term logistical fixes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1433559595\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1433559595.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leeman, Jonathan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
