Let the Church Be the Church

Let the Church Be the Church: Participate in God's Miracle is a collection of eleven messages Bill Coker preached at World Gospel Church, Terre Haute, Indiana, and repeated at other churches. He proclaims the church as one of God's greatest miracles because it involves people and has endured and thrived for over 2000 years. It is within the church that God's people learn about Him and how to love and serve each other.
This book is mainly directed to church members and attendees, but the pastoral staff would benefit greatly from its biblical teaching. Bill uses Scripture passages from the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles. The first message emphasizes Christ as the central focus of the church. Three chapters focus on the church as the body of Christ, while another group highlights three secrets of a dynamic church: praying, proclaiming, and pentecostal (being filled with power from the Holy Spirit). Another chapter teaches about unity, the church's priority. In the closing sermon, Bill presents a building plan for the church without walls.
