The Characteristics Of The New Testament Church Series
Contributed by Joe La Rue on Feb 12, 2008 (message contributor)
Summary: An overview of the five purposes of the church: namely, worship, discipleship, service, evangelism, and fellowship.
4. New Testament Christianity is about FELLOWSHIP. It’s about true, intimate community, where people find a place to belong, and the loneliness and isolation that is so often a part of this world melts away.
5. And New Testament Christianity is about EVANGELISM. It’s about reaching out to the lost, and sharing with them the good news that God loves them and Jesus died to save them.
C. New Testament Christianity is about far more than slogans, or church government, or order of worship, as important as those things are. New Testament Christianity is about being fully devoted followers of Jesus. And for the next five weeks, we’re going to talk about how each of those characteristics play out in the local church.
