There are a number of relevant Bible passages listed on this page.
The Old Testament is rich with passages about Israel's fall from favour and her restoration. All of them probably have useful things to tell us about the church. The New Testament contains many things direct from Jesus about both principles and practices, while Acts and the letters provide a lot of history and practical background.
- Ezekiel 37 - The valley of dry bones. Indeed the entire book of Ezekiel may be useful, there is so much about restoration here.
- Haggai - Building his house, not our own houses.
- The wine and wineskins passages in the gospels.
- John 17 - Very important passage on oneness. It's clearly what Jesus himself wanted.
