The End of the Spectator Church

For many Christians, “church” involves attending an occasional Sunday service and sitting in the audience. Virtually ineffective and having minimal impact, myriads have embraced a consumer Christianity that creates little but passive believers. Yet the Church is meant for so much more. Tony challenges this outdated approach to church with biblical and historical evidence that paints a radically different picture. Through New Testament exhortations, Tony calls the Body of Christ to be to be servants, not spectators, to be mobilized, not paralyzed. He reminds us that we were designed to be life-giving, fully engaged believers who radiate life and hope to others.
