What makes the church seem irrelevant and weak (full of hypocrisy, no moral or spiritual authority) to the world? • Worldliness It’s not that the church has sin; it’s the presence of unrepentant sin – we aren’t choosing to turn from our sins back to Jesus • Consumerism When the church tries to entertain and appeal to consumers, there isn’t room for Challenge • Individualism Church has become primarily about the “personal” – personal faith, personal needs, etc. Jesus intended His church to be primarily about “We” before “Me”
The Purpose (Call) of the Church to her members……. “Denying myself for the sake of communal discipleship and mission” Changes Required: • From Flakiness to Devotion • From Beliefs to Practices • From Autonomy to Intentionality
