Written from Pastor Carla Ives’ heart to the global church in a time when Christain values and beliefs are challenged and the unity of the church is threatened, Beautiful Bride … A Church Following Jesus, comes as a healing balm. Ives takes you back to the basics to re-examine your moorings, and she asks you to: • remember your first love for Jesus. • renew your commitment to His Word and ways. • recommit to following Jesus as a true disciple. • rediscover Christ’s love for His bride, the church. • relearn the biblical perspectives and responses of a Christ-follower. • remember why you’re here and refocus your priorities. • re-engage with the family of God. • make Jesus the center of everything. Filled with foundational truths, Beautiful Bride … A Church Following Jesus encourages you to rediscover the absolutes of God’s word and renew your first love for Christ and his bride, the glorious church.
