Why Church? week 4 - Discipleship: Walking with the Spirit

Why Church? week 4 - Discipleship: Walking with the Spirit

The great calling placed upon the Church is the one to make disciples. Few Christians would argue the importance of discipleship, yet so many struggle — not just to teach others what they have observed, but to observe ourselves what Jesus has commanded us. The Bible may not give us explicit instructions on how to do all that Jesus taught, but it does tell us how we can more successfully follow in the ways of Jesus: by keeping in step with the Holy Spirit.

The aim behind this series is to drill down a bit on our mission as a slice of the Kingdom of God known as a church called Elements.

Mission statement:
Elements City Church is an inviting community of Jesus followers, commissioned by the gospel to make disciples by cultivating relationships that reflect the love of Christ.

We are one church within the global Church that Jesus established and launched that has a mission of making God known and brining His good into the world. The Church has 5 key pillars that flow from the Great Commandment and Great Commission given us by Jesus (see Matthew 22:34-40 and 28:18-20):
- Fellowship
- Worship
- Serving
- Discipleship
- Evangelsim
Discipleship must be a daily pursuit for us to truly become like Jesus.
A disciple is someone who knows and follows Jesus, is becoming like Jesus, and is committed to the mission of Jesus.

The essence of discipleship is to hear and obey God.
Modern Christianity has created the notion that following Jesus is something you do, when it’s really someone you are to be.
How do we get more of the Holy Spirit?

1) We ask for it.
2) We place ourselves in a posture to receive it.

Aren't you glad you came to church tonight?!

We love gathering together to lift up the name of Jesus over every other name, setting our eyes on what matters most before we step out into the busy week ahead.

Next Sunday we finish our series, Why Church?, looking at the five purposes of the Church and the responsibility that falls on every believer in helping the Church fulfill Her purposes. See you then!

Remember: We will not be meeting in person on Sunday, February 9th. Join us for an online service posted to our YouTube channel that day.

The Nerd Out is back!
