Does Your Church Have A Jesus-Centered Culture?

In Chapter 6 of Creature of the Word by Chandler, Patterson, & Geiger, they discuss this question in great length.  It begins the second part of the book where they explain in more detail how the church and its leaders need to keep the gospel central as they seek to be prophet, priest, and king following Jesus' example.  We will not do it perfectly, but all of these need to be present.

Here are a few quotes from the chapter:
"The healthier the culture, the more likely the church will impact the community around her."
"Spiritual growth is the working out of what God has worked and is working in us and church ministry consists of intentionally forming culture while realizing He is the One who ultimately does the transforming."
"For a church culture to be centered on the gospel, there must be harmony between theology, philosophy, and practice."
"All three types of leaders (prophet, priest, king) are necessary and essential, and all three types of leaders must be utterly transfixed on the gospel."
"Ultimately, a Jesus-centered church looks like Jesus, the Prophet-King-Priest."
"The same power that conquered the grave is the same power than can transform your church's culture."
