The Church

Matthew 16:18 (Jesus) I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it.

Micah 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

The Town Square In Every Community In Every Population Center Throughout the Entire World There is Always a “Town Square” The theoretical intersection of the institutions and organizations necessary for people to live, grow, and prosper together.

Town Square

$ Commerce

A bank = Business / Private Sector Manages Money / Capital o Creates Prosperity through Re- investment o Creates Wealth (GDP) o Creates Jobs

Town Square $ Commerce Governmen t

Town Hall Government o Maintains Security (domestic and foreign) o Establishes and Enforces Laws of Commerce & Social Responsibility o Develops and Maintains Infrastructure (roads, public health, etc.) o Collects Taxes

Town Square $ Commerce Government Social Sector

Dallas Willard The Divine Conspiracy Continued “When individuals work together in dedicated, loving, and sacrificial service to God and His kingdom, their efforts will shine in such a way that all will see their benefits; it will be impossible to hide the effects…this is the sacred calling of servant leadership in the Scriptures.”

Town Square $ Commerce Government Churc h Social Sector

At Issue The Church has lost its voice in the Town Square and no longer has influence within the community. For the kingdom of God to advance the Church must: ○ CHANGE THE CONVERSATION IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT ITSELF (THE CHURCH) AND GOD

The Focus To Change The Conversation In The Community About The Church And God ○ The Church (people) must engage within the community through truth and love. (PEACE)

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

The Focus To Change The Conversation In The Community About The Church And God ○ The Church (people) must engage within the community through truth and love (PEACE) People are searching for a way of life that “works.” The PEACE Plan infuses and displays God’s kingdom.

John 10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The Effort  Effectively engage in the community with acts of love (PEACE Plan) that demonstrate God’s nature and character. ○ The focus of the efforts must be on “the other” ○ The effort is not to convince others of a theological truth but to demonstrate God’s love and to re-create a thirst for life in Christ. We are producers of love because we believe God is love and we live His life
