The series on “What is Church”, Pastor Joey did today continue
About the pattern and purpose of the church he did first review
The purpose is for spiritual community, growth, and intimacy
Having a spiritual family helps us to grow our spiritual maturity
Each church has a set of core values, its own distinctiveness
Pastor Joey said that here are five Every Nation does possess
Putting a high value on our obedience, at the core is lordship
‘Lord’ is in the Bible thirty times as much as grace or worship
We must understand the Lord before other things we can do
Without strong foundations and actions, destruction will ensue
In Luke six, Jesus used a parable to teach us how to aptly live
‘No’, ‘Not Yet’, ‘Not Now’, and ‘Now’ are answers God may give
Then come evangelism, discipleship, leadership, and family
EN values lost people, for Luke nineteen was not an anomaly
Per Luke fifteen, we should pursue the lost sheep in every land
Help people to follow God, Matthew twenty eight does command
In Second Timothy two, Paul implores us to entrust reliable people
Long term relationships hold the church together under the steeple
These four pillars support the church, but lordship is at the heart
Embracing them all enables us to be salt and light, doing our part
