This is the Church

by She Reads Truth

The reality of the gospel dictates the existence of a gospel people. The good news of Jesus’s death and resurrection is that of a new life, empowered by the Holy Spirit, as a new community in covenant with God. In this five-week follow-up to This Is the Gospel, we will look at what it means to be the Church and live in response to the good news as a gospel community. In this study, we’ll take a look not at specific denominational structures or practices, but at the broader conversation in Scripture about the nature, purpose, mission, and function of this unique and diverse body of believers united in Christ.

About the author

She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances.

WONDERFUL The verses in this study were amazing!!

[Jane Riordan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Beautifully presented, as always, with photos and artwork, colour themes etc but, somehow, I just didn't gel at all with this study; as was evidenced by the blank pages for 'notes' which remained blank.

In trying to present a 360 view of 'the church', one is never going to get it right for everyone, the fact that there are so many different denominations within the Christian church shows how often believers have splintered off because they disagreed with a particular point or ethos.

That said, this study tries to be as general and Biblical as possible.

perhaps it just wasn't the right timing for me, but I was disappointed; thirty-five days committed to it and I really don't feel I have brought away anything of worth or permanence.
