  2. CHURCH DIRECTION AND STRATEGY By Rolan Monje BD, MMin

  3. Outline • Church existence • Church membership • Church direction • Church strategy

  4. Why does the church exist? • Because Jesus desired it (Mt 16.16-18) • Because God owns her (Acts 20.28) • Because the Church is the fullness of Christ (Eph 1.23)

  5. Can you be “in Christ” without being “in the church”? • No, because Christ is the Head and the Church is his Body (Col 1.18, Eph 1.21-23) • No, because Christ is the King, and the Church is his Kingdom (1 Tim 6.15, Col 1.13) • No, because Christ is the Bridegroom, and the Church is his Bride (Eph 5.23-32)

  6. What about church direction? • Our direction is based on our obedience to God’s commands. • The path has been laid out already; we do not need to ‘invent’ a new direction for the church.

  7. What does God want for us? #1 LOVE GOD • Matt 4:10; Matt 22:37-40; Ps 34:3 Personal worship Group worship • How do you feel about your relationship with God? How are your times with God? • Do you feel like you are loving God the way that he wishes? • Do you usually miss devotionals/church services? Why so? • What can you do to help others be more committed?

  8. #2 LOVE EACH OTHER • Rom 15:14; Eph 4:12-13; Col 1:28; Acts 2:42-47 Discipleship Fellowship • Who is/are your discipling partner/s? • How do you feel about the discipling you are getting in your life? • Do you have any ill feelings towards someone that you need to be resolved about?

  9. #3 LOVE THE LOST • Matt 28:18-20; Col 1:6 Evangelistic outreach Benevolent outreach • When were you last involved in outreach to the needy or the hurting? • How do you feel about your personal evangelism? • When did you last tell someone about your conversion, or about church? • When did you last lead a personal Bible study? When did you last sit in a study?

  10. What about church direction? • Our direction is based on our obedience to God’s commands. • The path has been laid out already; we do not need to ‘invent’ a new direction for the church.

  11. The Role of the Holy Spirit (Acts) • Directing • Encouraging • Convicting • Building up • Strengthening

  12. Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouragedby the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord. – Ac 9.31
