Dangerous Church -- Part 1

A Safe Church
Strives To Keep The Members Happy
Avoids Controversial Issues
Remains Cautious
The Great Commandment
"`Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40
The Great Commission
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
"To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ."
Bring In Build Up Train For Send out
A Dangerous Church Transforms...
1. The Ordinary Into The Extraordinary.
"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for
all whom the Lord our God will call." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day." Acts 2:36-39&41 (NIV)
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." Acts 4:13 (NIV)
"God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out." Acts 19:11-12 (NASB)
When is the last time you have believed God for something extraordinary?
2. Consumers Into Contributors.
"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." Acts 2:42-45 (NLT)
Calling = What's In My Hand
Purpose = What's In My Heart
The church is not here for us. We are the church -- and we are here for the world!
When is the last time you have given of yourself sacrificially?
3. The Living To The Dead.
"...Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." Mark 8:35b (NKJV)
"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. " 1 Corinthians 2:46-47 (NLT)
