In this new study, veteran pastors Dan Cash and Bill Griffith tackle the reality of the changing Christian church in a rapidly shifting culture by turning to Scripture to explore eight paradigm shifts in the history of Christ&#146;s gospel and its birth of the church. Beginning with Jesus&#146; parable of the new wineskins for new wine, Cash and Griffith suggest that God is inviting today&#146;s church leaders to consider new ways of being the Body of Christ in the world. Perfect for an 8-week study in small groups or Bible studies, the chapters identify a key shift in the New Testament narrative and a related dynamic of change with its relevance for local congregations and their leaders. The eight topics explore:<br>New Wineskins&#151;Bell curve of change<br>Incarnation&#151;Types of change<br>Born Again&#151;Obstacles to change<br>Kingdom Manifesto&#151;Process for leading change<br>Old & New Covenants&#151;Different approaches to change<br>Resurrection&#151;No quitting in the face of change<br>Pentecost&#151;Triggers of change<br>Everybody Welcome&#151;Rate or pace of change
