March 3, 2025 – In his newest book, The Ordinary Church: Restoring the Biblical Model, Pastor John MacArthur invites us to walk the old paths, where the timeless truths of Scripture guide us in discerning what truly constitutes a faithful congregation. Prepare to embark on a journey that cuts through the distractions of modern culture and leads us to the heart of genuine, enduring fellowship.
In today’s landscape, not everything claiming the title of a church embodies health or truth. The Ordinary Church becomes a vital tool for believers, providing a lens to scrutinize the ordinary church and to serve as a guide to adopting a God-honoring approach in establishing and defining a faithful congregation amid the challenges of a sin-perverted world.
“This book has come at a key moment in church history. Society today has infiltrated many churches in ways that lead to confusion among leaders and discontentment among members. John MacArthur provides much-needed clarity and insight into how an ‘ordinary church’ is truly extraordinary.” – Brian Biedebach, Dean of Students and Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministry, The Master’s Seminary
John MacArthur is the chancellor of The Master’s University and Seminary, a pastor-teacher at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and chairman and featured teacher of Grace to You, a nonprofit radio and television program.
