Shared Responsibility

Yesterday I was very clear on what a fully devoted follower of Christ does in the local church. How each of us should Share in the Responsibility of helping Team Church achieve our One Purpose.

As I said yesterday....these are just the basics. Four basic attitudes and action that are commanded by God to be a part of your life. Four foundational marks...(not of a Christian as that comes from the grace of God through faith)....but a Christian who decides to be all that God has asked him or her to be! These are Spiritual because they are commands of God and they are practical.... because if they don't happen....the church fails. They are four fundamentals that will also change your personal life into more than you could ever imagine.

What you will see all over Team Church is this motto:

Shared Responsibility:

We are to Love One Another!

We are to Serve In The Church

We are to Give To God Through The Church

We are to Share Jesus Christ With Others.


That is it....Love, Serve, Give and Share. Those are what each person who calls Team Church....should be active and engaging in! It is the only way we have a healthy church that accomplishes the high calling of God for our individual lives and our this church.

After listening to the message yesterday....were you willing to "sign-up" and let us know you agree with the One Purpose of Team Church AND that you will Share in the Responsibility of that One Purpose?

If you missed the message...please go and listen or watch on line sometime this week!

As I said yesterday.....full devotion takes action and not just emotional and mental agreement. Our One Purpose will not happen just because we think it is a good thing to do or because we prayed about it. It happens when after praying about it....we act! This year has started off better than any year in our 10 year history.....I can't wait to see what "we" all get to do and be apart of this year!

Team Church in Lancaster Co. has it's first "practice" service this coming Sunday. Be praying that God will our new campus to fulfill our One Purpose there too!
