  Every Member Matters

  $17.99

  Why do so many churches neglect to practice meaningful membership? Why don’t modern Christians see the importance of membership in a local church? ?Every Member Matters is a small and accessible book that lays out the important role that every member plays in the mission of the local church. This book is written by two pastors leading in different contexts in the same community, one a church planter and the other a pastor of an established church.

  Many of us have memberships in big-box retail stores, alumni associations, and online shopping services, memberships that only impact a small slice of life. Those memberships demand nothing more than a small financial commitment and occasional attendance at an event. Unfortunately, that’s how many people view membership in the local church.

  What if we told you that the Bible not only expects you to be a member of a church – but also expects certain things from you as a member of that church? In fact, every member is called to be a worshipper, minister, servant, disciple-maker, giver, intercessor, and ambassador.

  In Every Member Matters, you will be encouraged to embrace the awesome privilege of joining a local church and using your gifts to minister and serve His people! The church is God’s plan to reach the world, and there is no greater way to spend your life than in the service of Jesus’ mission. In the body of Christ, Every Member Matters.

  Drawn By Beauty

  $22.99

  Wonder and awe of the beautiful is essential to the human experience. Our souls are often shaped and formed by the aesthetic experiences provided by the Creator. When we neglect this aspect of our lives, we fail to realize how God has created us uniquely to not only enjoy beauty, but to also create the beautiful. A distinctly Christian vision of these realities opens our eyes to see how God has enchanted our world to draw us toward Him, the source and substance of beauty, for a deeper experience of the Christian life.

  In Drawn by Beauty: Awe and Wonder in the Christian Life, pastor and theologian Matthew Z. Capps points to the reality that our spirits are formed by God through the beautiful experiences that he offers. This book is a call to not only acknowledge the effect that beauty has on the human spirit, but it is an appreciation of the obviously divine presence in the things of this world that are truly awe inspiring.
