I'm loving the dedication to the core of what a church should be about in this video. The church is not designed to be inwardly turned, but outwardly to reach, care and love those that need the life-giving gospel.
Here are the 4 pillars of a church, scripturally speaking, that is to say "this is what we're about"...
- Proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology
"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching." 2 Timothy 4:2
- Lifting high the name of Jesus through worship
"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24
- Believing firmly in the power of prayer
"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18
- Sharing the good news of Jesus with boldness
"And also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak." Ephesians 6:19-20
