10-13-19 Church Covenant #4

Hebrews 10:19-25

Church Convenant #4 - We will strive together as a body of believers for the advancement of the local church through attending its services, maintaining its discipline, upholding its doctrines, serving the body faithfully, and generously supporting it with our offerings so that the gospel of Jesus Christ can be spread both here and abroad.

Purposeful Attendance

We join together as those who confidently go before Holy God by the blood of Jesus.

Our gathering to worship God leads us in an outward direction.

Isolation leads to dangers in life and in our teaching.

We must attend and approach attendance with the mentality of a provider rather than consumer.

Meaningful Service

Spiritual growth will always spill over into good deeds.

The church is designed to have everyone using their unique gifts.

(1 Corinthians 12:4-25)

Every gift is needed and valuable.

If we don’t serve, it leaves a gap and/or causes others to burn out.

Giving Financially

A simple fact of the world we live in is: these good works often cost money.

God doesn’t need your money (Psalm 50:9-12).

We aren’t after the money but what can come of it (Philippians 4:17).

We serve the God who gave everything (2 Corinthians 8:9).
