WHY Does the Church Exist?
January 12, 2021 • Jonathan Herron
"These early Christians were ON FIRE with the conviction that they had become, through Christ, literally sons of God; they were PIONEERS of a new humanity, founders of a new Kingdom. They still speak to us across the centuries. Perhaps if we believed what they believed, we might achieve what they achieved." (J.B. Phillips, 1947) /// - Matthew 16:18 - "You are the KRISTOS (Christ)" - They believed to their core that Jesus was the Son of the living God! - Luke 15 is the HEARTBEAT of Life Church - Matthew 28 is not a Great SUGGESTION, it's the Great COMMISSION! - Ezekiel 11 - Dichotomists vs Trichotomists - Acts 1 = Pray - Acts 2 = Spirit-empowered witnesses - Acts 2:42 - Acts 2:46 & 4:32 = High Tech + High Touch http://lifechurchmichigan.com/getinvolved
