“What tries to break us can never be as strong as what unites us.”
The Church was never meant to be a building, a brand, or a weekly event. It is a family bought by blood — the ekklesia, the called-out ones — and it was built to stand under an authority Jesus never revoked. This book walks through what the cross actually purchased, what the Holy Spirit governs, and why the Church, rightly understood, cannot be broken by what tries to divide it.
From the declaration Peter made at Caesarea Philippi, through the government of the early Church, to the authority that is being restored to the Church today, The Church: As a Governing Body makes the case that everything Jesus built still stands — and still works.
Written by Pastor Timilehin Idowu and offered completely free as a PDF eBook. Read it, keep it, and pass it on to someone who needs to see the Church the way Jesus sees it.
