Or the minimal church. Maybe just church. I started last week by asking, “What is the church? Specifically I wanted to look at the idea of Minimal or Essential Ecclesiology. Quick review. Minimal: The least viable form or the least possible to call something a church. What can you remove from your existing church and it still be a church? Essential: If you have nothing else you must at least have this to call it a church. Ecclesiology: doctrine relating to the church The goal is to consider the smallest, most adaptable, most flexible definition of the church. Why? Because the church is intended to be multiplied in any environment. If church planting is really important, and we are going to do it, we need to identify the seed, the core definition of church. You don't start with the finished product in gardening or in church planting or in disciple making! What do you start with? A seed that contains the DNA of the future life at maturity.

With the new year comes a new collection of talks! This week, we jump right into a very important concept within Christianity, and that is the canonization of Scripture. It's an important topic to discuss, but one that isn't always talked about by the church. So, we are happy to share some insight in part 1 of The Church Defined. ---------- Sponsor a child from Maisha in Uganda: https://www.luxdigitalchurch.com/uganda Give with ALL IN: https://www.luxdigitalchurch.com/allin Check out Lux: https://www.luxdigitalchurch.com/ Support Lux: https://www.luxdigitalchurch.com/give Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/luxdigitalchurch Join a Small Group: https://www.luxdigitalchurch.com/smallgroups IG: https://www.instagram.com/luxdigitalchurch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LuxDigitalChurch TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@luxdigitalchurch
Over the last several weeks, we've been looking into various aspects that define the “church”, not just a particular local church but the Lord's church globally (and eternally). In the Great Commission, you see an underlying principle recurring throughout the bible. Once we realize the depth of God's grace that has been given to us, gratitude will overflow from our hearts. We will want to pay it forward. We will want others to know and experience what we now know and have experienced.Give to Project Rescue Herehttps://forms.ministryforms.net/embed.aspx?formId=fa9ab3d6-70fd-403a-ba47-fd5b63d77a8a
Over the last few weeks, we've been discussing the reawakening of our love for the church. Not the building, not a denomination, not a certain ministry, but the beautiful, complex, diverse, global, and eternal family of God. His Church.This week, Pastor Bryan brings clarity to misconceptions about heaven in order to come to a true, biblical understanding that would infuse a future-focused hope into our present journey through life.
Will you prepare your heart and your life to be a place where God dwells?There is something unique, powerful...even holy, and supernatural about the collective worship of God's people when we gather. In week 2 of The Church Defined series, we will discover how worship is defined and lived out in the context of The Church.
The only time in the entire Bible Jesus says the word, "church," is in this week's lectionary text. It's the only place Jesus defines what His church means, we better pay attention! Kiri and Mason ask Dr. Chris Croghan: What does it mean to be a member of the church? What's the difference between saying, "it's ok," versus, "I forgive you?" and how is forgiving each other's sin in private pastoral care? SING TO THE LORDListen to Luther House of Study's newest podcast: Sing to the Lord! Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Lars Olson and Mason Van Essen sit down with Zachary Brockhoff each week to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel. We hope you enjoy this new venture!
