Membership for THE Mission: Responsibilities of Leaders
Todd Nighswonger | October 10, 2021
Synopsis: Last week, we laid out Cornerstone’s discipleship pathway (pp. 14-15). We wanted to first show you how Jesus discipled his followers, and then how we are seeking to do the same thing in the life of Cornerstone. This week, Todd unpacked how God intends leaders to provide a healthy atmosphere for members of local churches to grow into flourishing disciples of Jesus Christ. They do this through:
living gospel transformed lives that can be imitated (transformed...not perfect),
teaching the truth of God’s Word and protecting from false teaching (including false teachers),
providing avenues for the church to be equipped for ministry that builds the church in love,
praying for the spiritual and physical needs of the church,
dealing graciously with sin in the church family, including church discipline, in a manner that leads people to repentance and restoration found only in Jesus Christ,
leading the church into our local community to share Christ in word and deed so that others might know and embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Questions: For questions related to today’s sermon, please see this week’s community guide.
