About this audiobook
Be inspired to grow in your love for and commitment to your local church as you understand what it means to belong to God’s family.
God calls us to be "devoted to one another in love" (Romans 12:10). What does this look like for us today? How can we be the kind of church member who makes a real difference?
This timely and engaging book by Tony Merida explores what church is, why being part of it is exciting, and why it’s worthy of our love and commitment. He sets out eight privileges and responsibilities of a church member: to belong, to welcome, to gather, to care, to serve, to honour, to witness and to send.
Whether you're new to your local church or have been attending for some time, this book will re-energise you with God’s vision for the local church.
