What’s the Point?

As Faith Baptist Church continues to grow and transition, the question that we have to keep asking ourselves is “What do we want our members to become?” The question is not what do we want to preach on or sing about. The question is all about what God wants from us.Here is what we came up with.

1. First we want our members to become Disciples of Christ.
2. Next we want our members to become great Spouses.
3. Then we want our members to become super Parents.
4. Then we want our members to become good friends (relationships).

So now the question is how do we do that? The first problem that we continually run into is that we cannot help people in ALL aspects like we need to because of the religious commitments of tradition. For example, what if we did a sermon series on Finances. We used this as a huge evangelistic event as well. Then during the series we would create several small groups that met in homes to work out the nuts & bolts of their own finances. Here’s the problem, why should we tell people to commit another night out of the week? One answer was to have the home group on Sunday night which would keep them from having to commit another night out of their own busy schedule and allow this to replace the Sunday Night Service. HERECY!!! You can’t do that!Why Not?!?Sunday Night services were not invented until the invention of the light bulb, so why can’t we uninvent the Sunday night service?
