4:08 - THIS TRANSFORMATION CAN TAKE PLACE IN 2 WAYS

Spiritual disciplines such as devotional Bible reading, prayer, & fasting

The church acts as a catalyst for spiritual growth

5:05 – SEVEN WAYS THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH HELPS US GROW SPIRITUALLY:

WORSHIP

TEACHING

PRAYER

FELLOWSHIP

DISCIPLESHIP

SERVICE

SOUL CARE

6:11 – 1. WORSHIP: ASCRIBES TO JESUS SUPREME WORTH THAT HE ALONE DESERVES (REV. 21:1–22:5)

7:40 - 2. PREACHING & TEACHING: SCRIPTURE PROVIDES THE CRITICAL INGREDIENTS FOR OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH (EPH. 4:14).

We learn what the Bible says about Jesus, see the qualities & characteristics of God, & learn what he desires to build in our lives (Matt. 20:27–28)

9:00 - 3. PRAYER: SPIRITUAL GROWTH HAPPENS IN BOTH PRIVATE & CORPORATE PRAYER

10:10 - 4. FELLOWSHIP: INTENTIONAL SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS IN CHURCH (ACTS 2:42)

12:35 - 5. DISCIPLESHIP: BEING MENTORED TO BECOME MORE LIKE JESUS

15:15 - 6. SERVICE: WHEN WE SERVE WE LOOK MORE LIKE JESUS (MATT. 16:25)

17: 40 - EVANGELISM IS THE PRIMARY SERVICE TO THE NON-CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

Jesus commands we “make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19)

When non-Christians see faith, kindness, & love within a community of Christians, this gives credibility to the reality of God & the truthfulness of Christianity.

19:15 - 7. SOUL CARE: TAKES GOD’S WORDS & APPLIES THEM RIGHT WHERE I AM SUFFERING OR STRUGGLING

21:00 - SO WHAT? PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

The church provides multiple ways to grow, but you have to invest yourself

22:48 – THE CHURCH WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU… YOU WERE MADE FOR THE CHURCH!

21:50 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP?

TAKE NOTES: DURING THE NEXT SERMON AT CHURCH & CHANGE SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE

GO SERVE SOMEBODY: IN YOUR CHURCH

23:00 - THANK YOU & WRAP UP
