Charlie’s Challenges: Extras from the sermon
The Makings of a Great Church
Memory verse:
“...and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified”
Acts 19:17
Text of the day, Acts 19:9-20
Ephesus was described as a combination of the money of New York City, the debauchery of Las Vegas, and the crime of Chicago. What do you believe are the most significant characteristics of our community? How is that an opportunity for ministry?
If you were going to plant a church in a difficult place and you were to do it with your small group, what would you want to add to your small group and what would you need to drop?
The Christian faith led to a riot in Ephesus. Where might the Christian faith create conflict in our society that could lead to excited emotions and even hostility?
Being highly flexible in operational issues is important to be effective in ministry. Where might we be less flexible than we ought to be?
Do you believe the American church places too much emphasis on church buildings?
When God is the one building the church, He will get the credit. In what ways do we try to build the church in our own powers or abilities?
A church that harbors unholiness will not prosper. Why would a church allow unholiness to be a part of its life?
