09 Stewardship of the Church

[* We are nearing the end of a series on "The Marks of a Healthy Church." * We have considered the characteristics of the early church from Acts. They "continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers...and... continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house" * Jesus' desire for unity among the believers in the church was critical for His message to be heard and "that the world may believe that You sent Me." * There are four major areas in which the church functions - Worship, Discipleship, Fellowship and Stewardship. * We have examined Ephesians 4:1-16 and 1 Corinthians 12-14 considering the Unity of the Church, the Synergy of the Church, the Diversity of the Church and the Excellency of the Church. * Today we will look at the fourth "ship" in the functioning of the church. * This message was presented on June 19, 2022 by Steve Moore.
