Union: Encountering Jesus In Life Lived Together (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999619709)

To know Jesus is to experience him. Union with the family of Jesus provides that experience.

We live in an age of spiritual distraction, discontent, and apathy-feelings that often arise from a lack of genuine, ongoing experiences with Jesus. What if the satisfaction for that longing we feel isn't found in discovering a new theological principle or adding another spiritual discipline, but in sharing the life we're already living with others?

In UNION, house church pastor Matt Bradway invites you on a journey into the heart of Christian community-where knowing God is not just a private experience but a shared life. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and the beauty and mess of real relationships, Matt shows readers how to experience the real presence of Jesus in life lived together.

In the pages of UNION, you'll discover:

• • How to experience the real presence of Jesus found by devotion to his people
  • Practical steps for how to act out the attributes of God in community which provides genuine experiences of Jesus for yourself and others
  • A clear roadmap for creating your own spiritual family where Jesus can make his home
  • A compelling vision for the future of the Church centered on loving one another in the simple rhythms of life together

Encountering Jesus doesn't have to be complicated or mysterious. By devoting ourselves to living communally with the family of Jesus, we'll experience Jesus himself...

and that changes everything.
