Just as our life is in our blood the life for Christ s body is in His blood. Changing a church is more than a new goal or direction. Our churches need more than an organizational transition; we need a full transfusion of Jesus blood His life within every disciple. Anything less than that will only perpetuate more of the dysfunction and unhealthy church practices that have already plagued us for too long. We are in desperate need of the internally transforming power of the gospel of grace and the presence of Christ so that our salvation is then worked out in a way the rest of the world will notice. It isn t enough that we believe in the facts contained in the gospel we must allow the gospel itself to infect our souls and transform us from within. The DNA of Jesus lifeblood is needed in our churches and nothing shy of a full transfusion that touches every cell will be sufficient. In this book Neil Cole (author of Organic Church Church Transfusion and Journeys to Significance) and Phil Helfer co-founders of Church Multiplication Associates will first point out that change is possible with God but only with God. In the second half of the book they will lay out some of the actual practical considerations to weigh if you want to release real organic health in your church. Using multiple examples of very different kinds of churches that have been through the process the authors present ways that leadership and practices need to change in order to release organic church movements from their midst. Chapters cover: Leadershifts necessary Detoxification from dependence issues. How to ignite change virally. How to grandparent movements. How to measure success in movements. This book (another in the Leadership Network series) applies organic life principles to established churches with practical help that is holistic and natural. The content in this book will be helpful whether you are pastor of an established church or wanting to revitalize a small organic church. Jesus didn t die and rise from the dead so that we can be like everyone else in the world. Our faith is more than just a better doctrine or a bigger goal with a capital giving campaign; it is a better life. Jesus is the difference and what a difference he makes...don t be satisfied with less.

The Lifeway Church Resources Very Good Set Bible Study DVD is a 7-session study led by Jen Oshman. This study helps women understand God s plan for them and how He delights in them. From Genesis to Revelation the study explores how God offers life purpose joy and conviction to women made in His image. It reveals God s generosity mercy and love providing freedom and security to live the lives women were made for. The DVD set includes two DVDs with seven video teaching sessions each approximately 21-30 minutes long. The study provides perspective on the value worth and purpose of women created in God s image and living out God s mission in the world. It helps decipher the culture and context for Paul s teaching on women in the church and home in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. It also embraces a vision for the distinctives of men and women as they partner together to fulfill God s mission and moves from confusion to clarity on what the Bible says about women throughout the whole story of Scripture.
