A Church Can Engages the City in 4 Ways (John 17:15-23)
1. A church in the city (apathy) or against the city (animosity): v. 15
“Gospel + Church - City”
2. A church of the city (assimilation): v. 16-17
“Church + City - Gospel”
3. Lone Rangers: v. 18
“Gospel + City - Church”
4. A church for the city (transformation): v. 19-23
“Gospel + City + Church”
COVID doesn’t change what God wants to do. But it forces us to re-think:
1. how to do it during this season
2. what it look like after this season.
Spiritual Waves We Need to Prepare For:
1. The Digital World is here (to stay)
2. The Next Generation is yearning
3. The City is growing
Conclusion:
Jesus said He will build HIS church. He is the designer, builder, and leader. He gets to choose the purposes of His Church. He gives us the authority and power as the church to express His love and bring transformation to those around us (Matthew 16:18)
