Here, with good, sound theological ideas to mill over, and discussion points and places to respond, we read letters to the Conciliatory Church, the Conforming Church, the Comprehensive Church, the Curious Church, the Concerned Church, the Courteous Church and the Confident Church, as if written by the church leaders in Revelation – after they had made changes to their own fellowships! The letters are to be read out loud, and are insightful, with some wry humour – church members may smile as they recognise themselves, but also think about the way that their churches might be encouraged to change.","brand":"Hugh Osgood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276815819071,"sku":"9781915046567","price":9.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8883\/6671\/products\/10090645_LRG.jpg?v=1685950887"},{"product_id":"unstoppable-church","title":"Unstoppable Church","description":"'Unstoppable Church: Embracing God’s Discipleship Plan' by Hugh Osgood invites readers to reimagine their role within the Church. Osgood challenges the conventional perception of ministry and explores a profound idea: What if God's calling is not about speaking to thousands but ministering to one person at a time? In this thought-provoking journey, Osgood navigates the dichotomy between aspiring for a grand platform and the significance of individual callings. Drawing from biblical narratives, particularly the momentous Pentecost, he emphasizes how every believer can hear God's call to discipleship as distinctly as the first twelve apostles did. The book reframes the essence of discipleship, illuminating that following Jesus isn’t just about securing a new relationship but a transformative journey. Osgood's personal anecdotes, including his own encounter with faith, underscore the pivotal shift from being a stagnant 'stone' to a vibrant 'living stone' within the Church. 'Unstoppable Church' doesn't just dwell on theoretical concepts; it delves into practical aspects. It explores how God has ingeniously designed a diverse yet cohesive discipleship plan for His Church. Osgood highlights the importance of unity within diversity and the impact it can have on local communities. The narrative weaves through historical perspectives, sharing insights from New Testament churches and experiences from South London, illustrating the tangible effects of embracing God's discipleship plan. Osgood invites readers to participate actively in this plan, embracing leadership not as a pedestal but as a means to serve and model discipleship. With clarity and fervor, Osgood propels readers to engage in a holistic discipleship journey. He paints a vision where churches, regardless of size or structure, play integral roles in fostering growth, learning, commitment, and mutual support within the Body of Christ. 'Unstoppable Church' ignites a fervent desire to rekindle love, grace, and truth within the Church. Osgood's narrative ultimately emphasizes that the power of the Church lies not in its grandeur but in its resilience to grow individually and collectively, embodying God's transformative plan for His people.","brand":"Hugh Osgood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47419853766975,"sku":"9781915046802","price":9.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8883\/6671\/files\/UnstoppableChurch.jpg?v=1712910041"},{"product_id":"strategic-church-1","title":"Strategic Church","description":"God is a strategist.

As churches, denominations and Christian agencies commit to this, we'll see multiple fresh expressions of God's kingdom. 'In 'Sending Church' Hugh Osgood addresses the question I believe the Spirit of God is asking the church. He takes us deeply into the early church experience of Barnabas, Paul and John Mark to reveal what it takes to send and go with the gospel. Alongside this he weaves his rich experience of five decades of leading and seeing the impact of churches and people sending and being sent. The result is a vision of church life that is relational, attentive to the Spirit and courageous enough to release people into their calling.'
