This Week's Assignment

Here's this week's assignment, a few passages to read and some questions to answer as we continue through our Trajectory Series and prepare for this coming Sunday (7/29).

This Week’s Assignment:

Read these three passages:

Hebrews 13:7, 17 

Hebrews 10:24-25 

Romans 12:3-18

On a piece of paper - draw three columns. 

Put Obligation at the top of the first, "To Whom" on the middle column, and "Why?" at the top of the last column.

You can do the assignment in one sitting, but it might be better to spread it out over three days. 

Then - as you read the passage, ask: 

• What Obligation/Duty is pointed out?

Write the answers in the first column.

Then, go back and read it again and ask:

• To Whom is it Owed?

finally, read it one more time asking:

• Why? What’s the reason/motivation?

As you know - the screen was out yesterday - here are all the blanks for the notes in case you missed anything:

What Is Church Membership?

Sermon Notes

Today’s Question:

How do we obey God in a right pursuit of church membership?

Peter’s confession is the central belief of the church.

Jesus Christ is the Foundation of the Church

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church

Pursuing membership in a local church Glorifies God. 

Defining Membership

Membership Is:

1. A  Covenant

2. An affirmation of your profession of faith

3. Oversight of your discipleship.

4. Regularly gathering

Pursuing Membership:

…is Discipleship

We should be helping each other follow Jesus better. 

…Pursuing Unity

… Seeking Interdependence

You need the Body - the Body needs you

… Think Obligation

(Not Privilege)
