Video description:
Does the entire bible tell a story of God building a worshipping community? Including the Old Testament? What about all the drama and discord between people? How do stories from throughout scripture speak to what it means to be the church today? What might this all say to those of us who are hurting, disappointed, and disillusioned with the institutional church in our culture? This is what Carmen Imes’s new book is all about!
