All In | Week 2 | Care & Protection | Ryan Iverson
We live in a society that fights against commitment, accountability, and reliance on others. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live counter-culturally and one of the greatest ways to do that is to become an active member of a local church. This allows for a clear commitment, acceptance of accountability and a responsibility to care for and be cared for by other followers of Jesus around you. We will be teaching on the importance of becoming a partner and member of the local church and how it will benefit your life, fulfill the call of God on your life and keep you strong in your walk with Jesus.

14:36 2 Timothy 4:3-4
16:52 A member of the church is guarded and covered and protected from false teachers and false teaching…
17:44 In order to provide this protection, there is also sometimes necessary discipline. 2. Members are disciplined

20:26 Matthew 18:15-17

29:06 3. Members are fed and shepherded.
30:12 We cannot shepherd you if we don’t know you’re in the environment.
