In this episode of the "Make Disciples" series, Chris Staples dives into the exciting concept of building a Jesus culture church. He takes inspiration from Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission, and Philemon's letter to explore three key pillars of creating a community centred around Jesus and his teachings.
1. See Potential in Everyone:
Staples reminds us that Jesus saw potential in everyone, like the fishermen Peter and Andrew he called to be his disciples. He encourages us to follow suit, recognizing the unique gifts and abilities within each member of our church community.
2. Give Ourselves:
Building a Jesus culture church requires sacrifice and dedication. Staples emphasizes the importance of following Christ's example and giving ourselves wholeheartedly to serving others, just as Paul did for Onesimus in the book of Philemon.
3. Live in the Power of the Holy Spirit:
True transformation comes through the power of the Holy Spirit. Staples draws from Acts 1 and Romans 8 to underscore the importance of being led by the Spirit, putting to death the desires of the flesh, and embracing the truth that sets us free.
This episode will challenge and inspire you to:
* Recognize the potential within others in your church community.
* Consider how you can personally contribute to building a Jesus culture.
* Seek the power of the Holy Spirit to guide you in your walk of faith.
