Three Musts For Every Church Acts 2:42-47 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity-all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

Read the full show notes at: https://malphursgroup.com/241 In this week's episode, titled "Why Every Church Needs a Leadership Pipeline," hosts Scott Ball and A.J. Mathieu dive into the crucial topic of leadership development in the church. They emphasize the biblical foundation for this concept, drawing on examples from the scriptures and real-life experiences. From the significance of discipleship to the practical benefits of a structured leadership hierarchy, Scott and A.J. lay out a compelling case for why every church needs a leadership pipeline. Join us as we unpack this essential aspect of church revitalization and learn how intentional leadership development can shape the future of your congregation.
The topic of Church Discipline often makes people uncomfortable at first. Most Americans have grown up in a version of Evangelicalism that sees “niceness” as an essential of the faith. Subsequently, few Christians have seen faithful church discipline applied. Either they have been a part of a body of believers that was functionally antinomian (anti-law), allowing even the most egregious sins to continue without confrontation. Here is the thing: Every Church disciplines; it is a matter of who they discipline. When a man leaves his family, refuses to repent, but is allowed to continue in fellowship with impunity, the church is effectively disciplining his wife and children out of the church. When an abuser continues to harm and the church leaders claim that it is better that he be in the church than not in the church, his victims are left unprotected. So it is with false teaching, gossip, sexual immorality, and the like. Faithful discipline is critical for the protection of the saints. However, it is not just individuals that are at risk. 1 John gives us a detailed overview of the deep fellowship (koinonia) that is to be at the center of the Body of Christ. It is this love for one another that is to be the mark of Jesus' disciples (John 13:35). We tend to think of church discipline in negative terms, but it is helpful to remember that Church discipline is not merely about punishment, it is about cultivating and protecting fellowship. The fellowship we share is not just with one another, it is with God (1 John 1:1-9). In this sermon, Pastor Daniel will talk about biblical fellowship from 1 John 1 before addressing the critical issue of church discipline.

According to Lifeway Research, the majority of people moving to a new town utilized in-person visits to churches (69%) and recommendations from family, friends, neighbors, and/or colleagues. And, Amazing Grace was first sung in 1773 on New Year's Day at Lord Dartmouth's Great Hall in Olney, England. John Newton wrote it to accompany his New Year's sermon from 1 Chronicles 17, encouraging worshipers to remember the Lord's “past mercies and future hopes,” the Museum of the Bible records in an online exhibit.
As we approach 2024, there couldn't be a better time to revisit your discipleship strategy. Here's why... In North America, we are ramping up towards another election year. For most Americans, this has become a time of increased anxiety, stress, and relational volatility. As a culture, we lack the tools to have difficult conversations (especially political ones) without resorting to blaming, name-calling, avoiding, and "dirty fighting." Sadly, we do this in the church as well. For the first 17 years of my Christian walk, this was all I ever knew. I simply mirrored what I learned from my family of origin. My mother yelled and screamed. My father was an appeaser who later exploded in anger. I learned to become an appeaser, which cost me dearly in my marriage, leadership, and church. For both Geri and I, we had to completely re-learn what it looks like to fight (and negotiate differences) in the new family of Jesus. We now call this skill "Clean Fighting Vs. Dirty Fighting". I'm convinced every pastor, leader, and church needs this one skill to flourish in 2024. In today's podcast episode, my wife Geri and I share more about the ins and outs of "Clean Fighting", the final and most important skill of Emotionally Healthy Relationships.

Today, we're exploring the vital role of Care Coordinators in churches. It is the church's responsibility to provide belonging, purpose, and hope to its community. Care Coordinators can accomplish this with three core functions: managing communication of needs, nurturing relationships with community partners, and overseeing diverse volunteer teams. Listen in as we challenge traditional discipleship models and advocate for reciprocal church-member support. Quotes When it comes to Care, I really think that every church should have someone doing the role of a Care Coordinator. The church is perfectly suited to provide the core needs of belonging, purpose, and hope. It takes collaboration with community partners to provide wrap-around care for people. When you select volunteers, diversity is key. I believe that Care is the biggest opportunity for the church to connect and build trust and share the love of Jesus.

How do you know if a church gathering meets Paul's standard of success? (Hint: it's not great worship or a great sermon.)
Thankful that Christ has provided specialized trainers to equip every church member to "build the house" (oikodomeo)
In 1 Cor 14:26, Paul tells us the purpose of a church meeting and something of how that is to happen. Most traditional churches have departed from this NT pattern. For training, go to LK10.com
In this episode, I'll begin to explain why a gathering with only one person contributing (as in preaching) doesn't qualify as NT church.
