Have you ever wondered whether Jesus is pleased with the church you are leading or belong to? Would Jesus decide to attend your church if he was able to?

Have you ever wondered whether Jesus is pleased with the church you are leading or belong to? Would Jesus decide to attend your church if he was able to? Or would Jesus discover that he was far too disruptive within your church community? Is Jesus, pushed to the outside, knocking on the door and not getting a response? This may not be a conscious rejection but has just happened gradually. Priorities have shifted and institutional survival has crept in. Faith and mission have been lost amid defensiveness and fear. Discipleship has waned. In closing the door on Jesus, the door has also been closed on the world that God loves. There are people who could be ministered to if they felt that they could be accepted and valued. There could be so much more credibility seen, if the local church was truly seeking to make a positive difference within the troubled spaces of their surrounding community. This short and lively book shines the light on these crucial themes, in the hope that your local church will become more welcoming, collaborative, encouraging and peace-seeking.
