BIBLE STUDY REVIEW: Strong committed church members make up a strong thriving church! Think of the church body in five parts or five levels: There are the people of the COMMUNITY who may sparingly come to church on those special occasions; the CROWD are regular attendees that come just to come; then there is the CONGREGATION, they made a conscious decision to openly repent from sin and become actual members of the church; next we have the COMMITTED, those are our maturing members; finally, we have the CORE, made up of the lay and ministers, ready and willing to actively put God first and share His Word. As Christians, our mission is to know Christ, our membership is relevant to our growing in Christ, our maturity is in our serving Christ, our ministry is when we share Christ, and how do we involve and evolve all of these things... we magnify them collectively along with the ability to readily and easily show Agape Love. Pastor said it best tonight, we are beggars trying to tell other beggars where to find bread. True J.O.Y. starts with Jesus, transforms through others and ends with you... (Jesus - Others - You)...
