Not Improving on Our Instructions
The Church's Mission Today
by Edmund K. Neufeld


Not Improving on Our Instructions calls the Christian church to return to its primary task and purpose, as outlined in the Gospels, Acts, and the New Testament Letters. In a series of sermons, Edmund Neufeld reflects on Christ’s instructions to his followers and addresses this central question: What is the one most important thing for the church to do? Years of pastoring and teaching have left Neufeld convinced that the most important thing that Christ has left his church to do is to love one another. He leads readers on a journey of rediscovering the heart of the gospel—practical, unifying love within the body of Christ. It is this love, faithfully lived out in community, that will draw nonbelievers to the gospel. Not Improving on Our Instructions may change your assumptions about righteousness, your neighbour, and what it means to be great in the kingdom—but it won’t change your instructions. God urges his people to rise to their calling and be his new society.
