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)
The Course of Discipleship
Spiritually Dead: Unbelieving, Rebellious, Religion no Relationship
--Need: Must be born again
Spiritual Infant: Ignorant, Confused, Inconsistent
--Needs: Bible taught, habits of a believer explained/modeled
Spiritual Child: Self-centered, Prideful, Insecure
--Needs: Learn to study the Bible themselves, Understand their role in church, Dial in Spiritual gifts
Spiritual Young Adult: God-centered, others-centered
--Needs: Outlets to serve, Fulfill calling of making disciples
Spiritual Parent: Intentional Disciple-maker, Mission-minded
--Although not perfect, full spiritual maturity reached
Application: What can we put in place to best fulfill God’s intentions for His Church?
