The Church Jesus Built
What happened to the Church Jesus built? Millions of people profess Christianity; they claim to be members of the Church Jesus founded. But Christianity is a divided religion, composed of hundreds of denominations and schisms. Through the centuries, most of Christianity branches have assimilated many nonbiblical traditions into their teachings and practices. In this booklet we'll examine the fruits Jesus and His apostles said would identify His Church. We'll look at the contrasting fruits influenced by a different spirit and preach a different gospel. We'll learn directly from God's Word how we can distinguish "the church of the living God".
