Synopsis

Maybe you have been there: you’re running late to church, and you know it will be hard to find an empty seat. 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? Jonathan 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.

I was already convinced of Leeman's argument but the book makes the case quite well. Here's his argument in a nutshell... "Multisite and multiservice churches repudiate the Bible's definition of a church, redefine what a church is, and so reshape the church morally".......more

Goodreads review by Sam on November 08, 2022

Short and sweet - if you're looking for a book on single-service vs multi-service/campus, this would be it. I found it especially helpful when Leeman argues from Matthew 18 and the important relationship between Jesus's presence and the people's gathering. His appendix 1, all the usages of ekklesia,......more
