this thing called church

As of now, we are in the fifth draft of Derasha: This Thing Called Church. Derasha is a book series that I write for our community at Ridge Point. We call the books Derasha because it is the Hebrew word for discourse. Its roots are as ancient as the Prophets. This series of books is designed to promote dialogue, raise questions, and act as a subject for conversation. Our discourse is not intended to be for the purpose of dialogue alone, rather it is intended to lead us to action. Our prayer is that our discourse would lead us to act on what we have learned in the name of Jesus, for the good of the world .

Derasha is released in connection with our Mid-Week Teaching at Ridge Point. We will gather each Wednesday in The Commons at Ridge Point at 5:45 PM for dinner. We will begin our discussion at 6:30 PM. Feel free to join us for Mid-Week Teaching a place where everyone there is able to speak and be heard.

Volume 2 will be released the weekend of February 3/4 and will be available for purchase at The Source at Ridge Point. Next week I will preview the introduction of This Thing Called Church.
