Sermon Summary:

·         What is a church supposed to do?

·         Important to understand the difference between the big “C” Church and the little “c” church.

    • Both are called to the mission: “make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:16-20)
    •  Each little “c” church much discover how they are called to contribute to that mission
    • The mission we are called to is “Connecting young families to Christ” §  We care about and shepherd everyone §  We need everyone to make it work

·         How is a church to go about accomplishing the mission?

    •  By going, baptizing, and teaching to obey (Matt 28:18-20)
    •  We “go” by connecting OUT to the world
    • We “baptize” by connecting IN to the church
    •  We “teach to obey” by connecting UP to God

·         Everyone can help by supporting & getting involved (Heb 13:17)

·         We can’t do anything without God (Matt 28:18, 20)

    • The mission & method is an empty shell without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit working through it
    • Prayer is key to accessing God’s power and bringing fruitfulness
