The New Testament repeatedly calls the church community the body of Christ. That sounds simple enough, but it takes hard work to develop loving, Christlike relationships in our church community.  Listen to this episode as Janet and Jocelyn discuss the importance of being involved in a church community. They discuss the different ways that a church community can help us all grow more like Christ in our journeys.

Membership class. part two

What Is A Healthy Church Member? - Week 11 - Jon Pouliot & Jeremy Litts by CBCNashville

This week we will conclude our class on a Healthy Church Member and transition to our two week new members class. We will spend some time reviewing the class and the different characteristics of a healthy church member then turn our attention to our final topic, a focus on prayer and that a healthy church member is a prayer warrior. We will discuss what prayer is, when and how we should pray, and for what and who we should pray for. We will also discuss the importance of personal and corporate prayer in the life of the believer and the life of the church.

As we continue our series based on the book “What is a Healthy Church Member?” by Thabiti Anyabwile, we'll consider what the Bible says about the attitudes and actions of church members towards their pastors and elders.

This week we will resume our class on a Healthy Church Member by looking at what it means to be a growing disciple. It is important to look at what true Christian growth is not and where we can go wrong with our motivations and beliefs about growth. When we think about growth in the Christian life, we are really talking about sanctification or growth more and more into Christ-likeness. While our growth is a work of the Holy Spirit, it is aided by participation in the local church and strengthens both the Christian and the local church they are a part of.

What does the Bible say about believers seeking to be held accountable, seeking to subject ourselves to the truth being spoken to us in love by our brothers and sisters, to seeking correction in our thinking, habits, actions? Join us this Sunday as we discuss why and how a healthy church member is one who seeks discipline.

What does it mean to be a committed church member? Before we can answer that question, we need to see what Scripture says about church membership in the first place. This week we will focus on the biblical argument for church membership and what it means to be an active and committed member of a local church. We will then look at some practical applications of what this commitment looks like.

This Sunday, we continue our Healthy Church Member Sunday school class as we discuss the importance of being a biblical evangelist. What are some common reasons we don't share the gospel? When we do share the gospel, do we neglect to share some essential aspects? How does our evangelism relate to the local church?

As we continue our study on healthy church membership, we move from our discussion of the Gospel to its application, personal conversion. We will spend some time examining what it means to be truly converted and what assurances we can have. Join us on Sunday as we look at what biblical conversion is and how its reality strengthens church members and the church in general.

The Gospel makes us aware of the love of God, of our own depravity and need for redemption, and of the possibility of forgiveness of sin and eternal joy in the presence of God by the work of Christ on the Cross. Continuous consciousness of the Gospel creates health and strength in the members of the Body of Christ. Join us this Sunday as we discuss how we can help each other to keep ourselves thinking about, applying, and sharing the Gospel.

What is a healthy church member? Join us this Sunday as we see that a healthy church member is a biblical theologian. Being a biblical theologian means you know God as he has revealed himself through Scripture. We'll see how this strengthens the church's health and explore ways you can better develop your biblical theology.

Our new Sunday school series will explore how we can be healthy participants in the church. As a general framework for the class, we're using the book What Is a Healthy Church Member? by Thabiti Anyabwile. We'll look at various topics like how we listen to the teaching and preaching of God's Word, knowing the work of God's grace in our soul (are you genuinely converted?), how to seek discipline in the body, praying for the church, etc.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.”~Carl Sagan (1934-1996), famed astronomer, in his 1985 novel Contact “The mark of Christian discipleship is love—love of the kind that Jesus exercised toward his followers, love visible enough that men will recognize it as belonging to those people who follow Jesus.”~Thabiti M. Anyabwile, pastor and author, in What Is a Healthy Church Member? “The people who heard Jesus' disciples proclaiming the Good News were as impressed by what they saw as by what they heard. They saw lives that had been transformed—men and women who were ordinary in every way except for the fact that they seemed to have found the secret of living. They evinced a tranquility, simplicity, and cheerfulness that their hearers had nowhere else encountered…. “The only power that can effect transformations of the order we have described is love…. “God's love is precisely what the first Christians did feel. They had experienced Jesus' love and had become convinced that Jesus was God incarnate. Once that love reached them, it could not be stopped. Melting the barriers of fear, guilt, and self-centeredness, it poured through them like a torrential stream and heightened the love they had hitherto felt for others to the point where the difference in degree became a difference in kind. A new quality, Christian love, was born. Conventional love is evoked by lovable qualities in the beloved, but the love people encountered from Christ embraced sinners and outcasts, Samaritans and enemies. It gave, not prudentially in order to receive, but because giving was its nature.”~Huston Smith (1919-2016), world religions scholar who taught at MIT and SyracuseSERMON PASSAGEJohn 17:20-26 (ESV)1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
