November 29, 2024The Lord's Supper, Part 2 - A Conversation with Jim Elliff
Mark and Dan welcome Jim Elliff, founder and president of Christian Communicators Worldwide (CCW) to discuss how the observance of the Lord’s Supper can be more meaningful in the life of your church.
Why most of the instruction from Scripture about the Lord’s Supper is corrective.
We don’t “take” the Lord’s Supper, we “eat” the Lord’s Supper.
What it means to “examine yourself” before eating the meal.
The meal is an “apostolic tradition,” which is a command to obey.
“Eat a meal together” is just another way to express fellowship.

November 26, 20247 Reasons Patience Matters in Church Change
Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some reasons that pastors must be patient when it comes to making change.
The best change takes place on the wings of persistent study and prayer.
Many churches simply don’t recognize the need for change.
Some changes require structural change – even a change in the church’s by-laws at times – and that process usually takes a while.
Too much change in too little time can backfire.
Sometimes those members who’ve been the most faithful over the years are the ones who most need convincing of the change.
We’re often trying to change churches that have been in maintenance mode for a long time.
Some members aren’t unwilling to change; they’re just tired of change in general.
