We begin a 6-week series based on Thom Rainer's book "I am a Church Member", looking at 6 different attitudes that will radically transform how we engage and involved ourselves in the life of the church. In Part 1 of this series, we consider several key points about what it means to be a member of a church. First and foremost, biblical church membership means that every Christian will be a functioning church member, in which they give abundantly and serve without hesitation.
I Am a Church Member, Pt. 1
I will be a functioning church member
August 22, 2021 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • 1 Corinthians 12—14
I Am a Church Member, Pt. 6
September 26, 2021 • Pastor Jeremy Dente
As we close out our series "I am a Church Member", we take some time to consider the reality of church membership - that it's a gift of God's good grace on our lives, and that we shouldn't do anything to take advantage of that gift or neglect our proper care for this gift. And we can accomplish this by receiving the gift, responding to the gift, and re-gifting the gift!
I Am a Church Member, Pt. 5
September 19, 2021 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • Ephesians 5—6
In part 5 of our series, "I am a Church Member," we look at the importance of leading our families to be healthy church members. We can accomplish this by praying together, worshipping together, and serving together.
I Am a Church Member, Pt. 4
September 12, 2021 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • 1 Timothy 3:2–5, Romans 15:30–31, Ephesians 6:18–20, Philippians 1:19, Colossians 4:3
In part 4 of this series about being a biblical church member, we must all commit to pray for those who have been trusted to lead in the church, including pastors, deacons, elders, and other ministry leaders. They need our support more than ever!
