Message

I IDENTIFY AS...
...a Church Member”
Acts 2:42-47 & Ephesians 4:1-16 

Introduction: How do we best identify with and carry out God’s mandate for PCC? One Word: Discipleship

The Culture of the Church

The Charge to Church Leaders
Provides What is Needed For Ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12a)
Strengthens by Instruction and Encouragement (Ephesians 4:12b)

Have we as pastors taken the time to identify what a fully devoted follower of Jesus looks like?

Is there a clear path in our Church to help people take steps in their faith with the ultimate goal of helping them become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ?

The Cause of the Church
Thrives Together (Ephesians 4:13a)
Experiences God’s Truth (Ephesians 4:13b)
Matures in Faith (Ephesians 4:13c)

The Covenant of the Church
Follows Correct Doctrine (Ephesians 4:14a)
Discerns Correctly (Ephesians 4:14b)
Confronts with Truth (Ephesians 4:15a)

Expects Individual Responsibility:
--grows within the church (Ephesians 4:15b)
--connects within the church (Ephesians 4:16a)
--serves within the church (Ephesians 4:16b)
