A God-Centered Church: Experiencing God Together

An award-winning book from a multimillion selling author, now available in paperback for the first time! Henry Blackaby says, “As important as Experiencing God has been to many people, A God Centered Church is a necessary sequel. Christians must make the transition from knowing and doing the will of God as individuals to knowing and doing the will of God within a corporate body of believers.” Indeed, there is a corporate nature to salvation. God saves individuals but places them in community with one another—a community of believers. God is creating for Himself a people through whom He can accomplish His purposes in our world. Experiencing God Together helps churches experience the fullness of life as a congregation, a manifest presence of God in their midst, and a love that could only come from above.

Top Highlights

“My relationship with God is private.’ The only problem with that statement is that, though it may accurately reflect their experience, it is not biblical. Our relationship with God is personal, but it was never meant to be private.” (source)

“God is not primarily interested in making us successful; instead, His heart desires for us to experience the full measure of His great salvation.” (source)

“Salvation is intensely personal, but God never planned for our salvation to be private.” (source)

“How do you view those who are in the family of God?” (source)

“When people attend our churches, do they experience a well-run organization or the presence of God? Do our churches reveal the collective knowledge of people or the manifest wisdom of God? Does the world see our churches as places where good people do good things for God, or do they see the power of God working through His people to do what only He could accomplish?” (source)
