Tolga Community Church: Church: What are we to be and what are we to do?

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Church: What are we to be and what are we to do?

Church. A one word statement. What are we (the Church) to be and what are we (the Church) to do?

Worship (Matthew 22:34-40)
Evangelise - tell the world the whole gospel message
Fellowship - Church should be a safe, protected place where people can learn, and share
Equip disciples for ministry

Have effective results rather than lots of activities/programs (check out how the early Church in Acts operated!)

Bible references:

John 17:18
Acts 2:41-47
Acts 2:44-45
Ephesians 4:11-16

Our Pastor will be sharing more about Church: What are we to be? What are we to do? once a month during this year.
