Our current sermon series is titled “Engage. Church as it should be”. The idea of what a church is has drifted from what the Bible teaches. Church has become something you go to, but the Bible teaches that the church is a “called-out assembly”. The church is Believers who are following Jesus’ commands and carrying out His mission to reach the world. We are getting our cues from the early church in Acts 2 to see what church should be. The church should be devoted to the Word of God. The Bible is the foundation for our faith. The church responds to the Bible with obedience. That obedience manifests itself when we love one another the way that Christ has loved us, and when we minister to and serve people outside the church. We do all of this to fulfill the commission Christ has given us to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. When this describes us, we are church as we should be.
On September 13th, we will be starting two groups to be the church as described in Acts 2. We will meet at 5:30 Sunday evening to enjoy a potluck meal. Around the tables, we will deepen relationships and find ways to love one another in ways that show the world we are Christ’s disciples. Our groups will be centered around the Word of God. We are challenging you to join us in reading through the Bible in a year, and our discussion will center on that week's reading. However, our goal is not to gain Biblical information. To be the church as we should be, our goal is to apply Biblical truth in ministry to the church body and to people outside of the church. The goal is to make disciples. To bring lost people to faith in Christ, and to get Believers actively living out their faith.
Church as it should be.
