A Vision for a Gospel-Revealing Church
In this session, Jamie Dunlop delves into the concept of a healthy church, emphasizing that its true health is not determined by size or speed, but by how effectively it reveals the gospel through its community. He highlights the significance of unity and commitment within the church, and how the church’s community reflects God’s glory.
Is This Person Really a Christian?
Mark Collins shares his personal experience about the importance of protecting access to something valuable, drawing a parallel to the church’s “front door”—church membership. He emphasizes that before admitting someone into the membership of the church, conversion must be assessed to ensure they are truly a believer. This session explores the reasons and methods for assessing conversion before church membership.
A Gospel-Revealing Depth of Community
This session discusses how commitment in the church should be rooted in love for Christ, not consumerism. He emphasizes that the church must foster calling-based commitment rather than comfort-based commitment in order to reflect the gospel and build authentic community.
From Passive to Passionate: Turning Church Members into Disciple makers
The speaker discusses the challenges of becoming passionate about discipleship, especially within church leadership. Personal reflections are shared on how the gospel and the church’s mission can turn passive attitudes toward discipleship into passionate, Christ-centered engagement. Discipleship is emphasized as an essential, long-term culture for the church rather than a temporary project.
Gospel-Revealing Breadth of Community
Jamie Dunlop continues the discussion on the church’s role in revealing the gospel, focusing on the breadth of community. He reflects on the power of unity among people who are different from each other, just as in the early church with Jews and Gentiles. This unity in diversity is a testament to the gospel’s power and draws attention from the spiritual realm.
What is the Biblical threshold for removing a church member?
This session discusses the importance of church discipline, drawing a parallel between disciplining children and pastoring a church. He highlights the necessity of discipline for the holiness of God’s people, emphasizing that church discipline is essential for the health of the church.
A Vision for a Compelling Community of Healthy Churches Across Asia
Reflecting on ministry, we often face the tension of either growing complacent or overcompensating by doing too much. It’s essential to find the balance between being steadfast in our calling while abounding in the work of the Lord. This session focuses on commitment, perseverance, and the confidence that our labor is never in vain.
