The Church: God's Called Out People

More and more people believe they can have Christ without His church. The New Testament says otherwise: when God saves you, He gives you His Son and His people too.

The Church: God's Called Out People is a 13-lesson Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen in the Growth Tracks series. It's a refresher course on what the Bible teaches about the church, written for mature Christians and young believers alike.

How This Study Helps

Dissatisfaction with church membership is one of the great challenges of our time. Some drift away quietly, others decide a private faith is enough, and many members simply take the church for granted. Imperfect as God's people are, there's no greater privilege than living inside His household as His son or daughter.

This study reminds you of the size of salvation, defines New Testament Christianity, and identifies the church Jesus built. It covers the authority of Christ, gives an overview of the leadership God placed over the church, and closes with the basics of reverent, heartfelt worship. As Peter said, these truths need to be taught again and again so our understanding stays sharp (2 Peter 3:1).
