The Church That Changes Culture

The Church That Changes Culture It matters what you believe. Four Essential Beliefs   1. Scripture is accurate and trustworthy 2. Truth is meant to be lived 3. The Great Commission is for me 4. The Great Commandment is not optional Why is #1 essential? What difference does it make that #2 is essential? What happens if we reject #3? What happens if we ignore #4?

The Church That Changes Culture …is the one that helps you with life-change. “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” Romans 12:2 NLT It matters how you live day to day. (Values) What values does the American culture see in the Church in America? What values do people see in the Sycamore Church? How do you know?

The Church That Changes Culture It matters how you live day to day. Sycamore Church Values   1. Empowered Evangelicals 2. Genuine guileless worship 3. Two-winged church 4. Authentic community 5. Develop leaders from within 6. Relational evangelism 7. Real life discipleship 8. Kingdom mentality Since I have been here, we have articulated a group of values that we say are core to who God has made us to be. Can you explain what each of these mean?

The Church That Changes Culture …is the one that shows you the way. “You have shown me the way of life, and you will give me wonderful joy in your presence.” Acts 2:28 NLT It matters that we share what works. (Strategy) Why does it matter that what we share with others works?

The Church That Changes Culture It matters that we share what works. (Strategy) Methods are many; principles are few. Methods must change, but principles never do. I have heard Dusty say this at least fifty times since 2003.

The Church That Changes Culture It matters that we share what works. (Strategy) Five Aspects of Strategy That Work   1. Team ministry 2. Flexible structure 3. Flexible methods 4. Mission driven 5. People focused There are five aspects to the strategy that we have had since 1993.

The Church That Changes Culture Do you know what you believe? Is your life changing? Do you see your part in the strategy? Can you transfer to others what you do not experience yourself? Now that we have seen what a church that changes culture looks like, it is time to ask the individual question. How can you contribute to making the Sycamore Church this kind of church?
