Everyday Church

Everyday Church:
Gospel Communities on Mission
By Tim Chester and Steve Timmis (Crossway)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“Tim Chester and Steve Timmis have written a work that builds a compelling argument for engaging everyday people in everyday churches in God’s everyday mission. Living in the post-Christian culture of Europe, the authors foreshadow the necessary corrections that will be needed for the American church in the decades to come. Everyday Church is the most important resource in this category because along with pointing out the problems of our future culture, it also provides a tangible response for leaders, communities and individuals.” —Todd Engstrom, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine

How Does Church Planting Benefit the Sending Church?

Can giving away your best people be a good thing?

How Does Understanding God’s Happiness Change Lives?

As much as I believe in the holiness of God, I also believe in emphasizing God’s happiness as a legitimate and effective way to share the gospel with unbelievers or to help Christians regain a foothold in their faith.

You Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Please Everyone

Learning to balance the natural tension of loving and caring for people, but not allowing someone to leverage their personal agenda or hijack the vision of your church is part of the leader’s responsibility.
