5. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even
to the end of the age.” Amen
Matthew 28:18-20
6. Purpose of the church
Embody the work & ministry of Jesus Christ -
Preach the Gospel to the lost -
Mature the believer / Make disciples -
Release the believer for “Outward Ministry” -
Equip for Ministry -
DO IT AGAIN!
7. Why is there Conflict
Churches are more “Relevant” then Biblical
Churches have become more member driven
then disciple makers
Sheep refuse to grow-up
Sheep have a Consumerist approach to church
8. Church & Culture
The Church is called to reveal the sin in
culture by being Counter-Cultural
We are NOT to conform to the culture
9. 9 Marks of a Health Church
Expositional Preaching, Biblical Theology,
Good News, Conversion, Evangelism,
Membership, Discipline,
Discipleship & Growth
10. Conclusion
We MUST to be connected to both the Global
Church and the Local Church
Spiritual Growth is a JOINT EFFORT
Church is not to be viewed as a “product”
Without the Local Church you are disconnected
The local church is the hope of the world
