The Church God Blesses

This is a book about refusing to settle for less than God wants for your church. The pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle shares what he has learned, sometimes painfully, about building a church that God is blessing though his empowering presence.

Publisher Description

God Is Looking For A Church To BlessGod wants to transform his church into a people of power, joy, and peaceJim Cymbala reminds us that Christianity is only as strong as the local church and that God wants to bless our churches in ways we can't possibly imagine. It doesn't matter whether a church is alive and growing or barely surviving on life support. God has a plan for it. It doesn't matter whether a church is facing financial challenges, internal divisions, or strife among its leaders. God has a plan for it. God is able to deal with any problem a church will ever face--as long as his people earnestly seek him. As the pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle, Cymbala knows that God's blessing and grace is available to us today just as much as it was in the early church, when thousands of people became believers despite the fact that the church lacked everything we consider vital: church buildings, seminaries, printed materials, sound systems, choirs, and money. None of these things matter
