A Call To Refocus

Jan 24, 2010Dr. John KingCHURCH, THE5 Purposes of the Church

The message emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision and purpose for the church, drawing inspiration from the story of Helen Keller. The speaker calls for a refocus on the five biblical purposes of the church: worship, ministry, evangelism, fellowship, and discipleship. Each purpose is defined and explained, highlighting the need for the church to actively engage in these areas. The speaker encourages the congregation to embrace their roles in fulfilling these purposes and to develop a strategy for growth and outreach. The message concludes with a call to action for the church to embody these principles in their community.

Matthew 22:37-40Matthew 28:18-20Romans 12:1Romans 13:81 John 3:16-18Ephesians 4:12Colossians 1:281 Corinthians 4:161 Corinthians 11:1
