About this ebook
Jesus gave his followers seven key practices:
- The Lord's Supper
- Reconciliation
- Proclaiming the gospel
- Being with the "least of these"
- Being with children
- Fivefold ministry gifting
- Kingdom prayer
When we practice these disciplines, God becomes faithfully present to us, and we in turn become God's faithful presence to the world. Pastor and professor David Fitch shows how these seven practices can revolutionize the church's presence in our neighborhoods, transform our way of life in the world, and advance the kingdom. Our communities can be changed when they see us practicing our faith. Go and do.
