The Church Has Left The Building
~the transforming power of a church-wide weekend of service
2 keys to reaching our culture today::
- authenticity
- Bono factor= what are you doing for someone else?
How do we mobilize the congregation to get out and serve the community?
-small groups have to model
-church wide service of serving in the community
Luke 10: 1-20
A weekend of service
1. They went as his advance team to a specific place- verse1
2. They went with a specific cause- verse 2-9
3. They returned with joy -verse 17-20
Points to ponder::
Before they went out to serve Jesus thinned the herd
They were sent out Not just to do good deeds
They were sent out to be the advance team so that the people would be willing to accept Jesus, when He came
They focused on those who were opened to their message
Poverty, injustice and disease are not life's biggest problem. Eternity is!
Practical App::
1. Be sure you are asking what is our purpose and how will we measure success?
2. How can we make this a great experience for everyone?
3. How can we institutionalize good intentions?
