Sermon Outline
  • A Church alive in the Spirit

    • doesn't "hand a bit out," but puts it all in
    • shatters the shame of its members
    • keeps its praise on target
      • Sermon Questions
      1. If these four elements were points on a compass—apostolic teaching (N), fellowship (E), humble service (W), and praise (S)—how would you map your spiritual position today? Would you be off in a particular quadrant? Do some elements feel fainter than others?
      2. What is the difference between "handing a bit out" and "putting it all in"?
      3. Have you ever experienced healing? Do you believe God heals today?
      4. What makes genuine friendship—koinonia, or fellowship—possible?
      5. What does it mean to you to belong the body of Christ?
