"…that God may open a door (Col. 4:3)"
A Living Church
Jesus designed the church to grow through “evangelism.” But what is evangelism exactly? In this lesson, Mike explores the role that evangelism plays in creating “a living church.”
The true definition of a servant is someone who sees a need – and fills it. In this lesson, Mike takes a close look at Jesus as He washed the disciples’ feet, and the important lesson to be gained from that selfless act.
In this lesson, Mike explores the value of worship, and how it marks the healthy church. He examines the idea that each choice we make is valued on a scale of worth. Is it worth it — or not? Those things that we value consume our time and attention.
A living church is in the process of making disciples, and doing what Jesus says is the first step in becoming a disciple yourself. The challenge is become a disciple rather than just a follower.
In the first lesson, Mike consider this question: “What would keep OpenDoor from growing?” Since “living” things grow naturally, if the church is alive, it should grow. But maybe our emphasis should not be on church “growth,” but on church “health.”
