How can I help my church stay focused on its purpose? What would a
culture of generosity look like for my church? What part does rest
play in a healthy church? Whether you are a pastor, a volunteer, or
a church member, you want your church to grow well. After all,
there's no better place to experience God than in the loving,
healthy community of a church. But what does an effective church
look like? Is it possible to grow and be healthy at the same time?
Pastor Robert Morris has experienced firsthand the spiritual and
relational excitement of a growing, dynamic church. In The Blessed
Church, Pastor Morris brings you practical wisdom for cultivating
real growth by nurturing true and Biblical health in your spiritual
community. "In The Blessed Church Robert Morris reveals why Gateway
Church in Dallas-Fort Worth has become not just one of the largest
churches in America but also one of the most influential. Robert's
devoted, attentive shepherding of this great fl ock is one reason
why Gateway is so'blessed.' In The Blessed Church the biblical
principles that lead to true success in the body of Christ are
carefully explained. If you love the local church, as both Robert
and I do, you won't want to miss the insights found in this helpful
and practical book." --Dr. Tony Evans, senior pastor, Oak Cliff
Bible Fellowship; and president, The Urban Alternative "Our world
desperately needs healthy, vibrant churches, so I'm so thankful
Robert Morris has written The Blessed Church--a book that draws on
the Gateway 'back story' to describe the qualities of a healthy
local church. More than anything, a heart for God and a love of
people define the ministry of Pastor Morris and Gateway Church. If
you want a growing vitality in your church, you will profit from
every page of The Blessed Church." --Chris Hodges, senior pastor,
Church of the Highlands "How has your church remained so healthy
while growing so quickly?" Robert Morris gets this question a lot.
In other words, people want to know: "What's your secret?" In The
Blessed Church: The Simple Secret to Growing the Church You Love,
Pastor Robert Morris unfolds why Gateway Church in suburban
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of America's fastest-growing, spiritually
enriching local churches--and still one of its healthiest. Written
for both church leaders and lay people, The Blessed Church looks at
the qualities that make church "work" in the twenty-first century
and how that can enrich your church--whatever its size or vision.
With the humor and powerful stories he's known for, Morris shows
how every component of your church--including mission, church
government, teaching, worship, small groups, giving, and
outreach--can receive God's richest blessings. Rather than
bemoaning the problems of the contemporary evangelical church, The
Blessed Church celebrates the expanding role of the body of Christ
in the lives of individuals--starting right where you and your
church are today.
