4. THE CHURCH LIFE CYCLE

5. “If your church is in stage 3, remember that you still have many fruitful years ahead, but the process of death has already begun to creep into your congregation. The good news is that churches in stage 3 are much easier to turn around than those in stages 4 or 5. Mission is still fairly strong in the background of your church, so you must immediately begin to refocus on accomplishing your mission before the church moves further down the death track.” Waking the Dead, Burrill, 38-39 STAGE 3.5

6. “…you must immediately begin to refocus on accomplishing your mission before the church moves further down the death track.” Waking the Dead, Burrill, 38-39 LIFE CYCLE RESET

7. OUR PRESENT COURSE “If a plateaued or declining church cannot look down the road and see itself making disciples with increased intensity, it will be disobedient to Jesus’ great commission, an unacceptable position for a church that claims to follow the Master.” Waking the Dead, Burrill, 51

8. HIS PURPOSE, OUR PURPOSE “Remember, this is not really your church; it is the Lord’s church. We are His followers. His purpose for the church must be our purpose. To have any other purpose for the church than His is to fail to be a legitimate church of Jesus Christ.” Waking the Dead, Burrill, 50

9. GOD’S PURPOSE “The reason for the existence of the church was to go forth and make disciples among all people groups…Jesus declares that He possesses all authority…He is not asking us to go – He is telling us we must go. We have no choice. If we are His disciples, we will obey and go.” Waking the Dead, Burrill, 23

10. Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

12. John 14:15 15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I John 2:5b-6 5 …By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

13. John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

14. I John 5:11-12 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

15. John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

19. Matthew 9:35-36 35 Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. 36 Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

20. Matthew 9:37-38 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

28. John 1:4-5 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

29. John 1:6-9 6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

31. John 9:5 5 “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

32. John 8:12 12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” Matthew 5:14a 14 “You are the light of the world.”
