How can a church be all that God wants it to be? John MacArthur, Jr., answers that question by using Paul’s analogy of the church as a body. First, you’ll learn about the skeleton of a church—the foundational things a church must be committed to. Next, you’ll examine the internal organs, which are proper spiritual attitudes. Third, you’ll look at the muscles, or the functions of a church. Last, you’ll learn about the flesh of a church, which is its visible method of ministry.
Although the churches differ externally, they must all be committed to the same truths, attitudes, and functions. The Anatomy of a Church is a valuable study tool that explains how you and your church can glorify God!
