What is church all about? Thinking through who we are...

Making disciples - Matthew 28: Timothy 2:2 Two Aspects - Discipleship (Build One another Up) (Ephesians 4:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 5:11) - Outreach (Evangelical Church!) (2 Timothy 4:1-5, 1 Peter 3:14-15)

The Bible is God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17) - It has the final say in all matters - Everyone is responsible for interpreting it (Acts 17:11) The Holy Spirit is Essential (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) - Everyone has a role (1 Corinthians 12:7) - You have another purpose (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Salvation is Personal (John 3:16, John 1:11-13) - By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 1:16-17) - Everyone is responsible for their choice (Hebrews 2:1-4) Being like Christ is our honour (Matthew 10:37-39) - Especially in suffering (1 Peter 4:13-14) - Selflessness is key to living our faith (Matthew 6:24)

Make Disciples, Reach Out, Centralise the Bible, Trust the Holy Spirit, Own Your Salvation, Be like Christ. Easy!
