"BECOMING A FAMILY BIBLE CHURCH"

ACTS 11:23 - 26



THREE MUSTS FOR EFFECTIVE CHURCHES
     I. MUST BE GROUNDED IN BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GODS WORD.


       THE WORD OF GOD IS:
       1. Creative Action from the beginning.(Gen 1)
       2. Power of God given to man.(John 15:7)
       3. Truth of God for liberation of man.(John 8:32)


We see the truth about God, about our world, about ourselves


     II. MUST BE ANTICIPATORS OF GODS BLESSING AND ACTION.
(ACTS 11:24)
Anticipators of God, good, and growth


     III. MUST BE ENCOURAGERS OF GODS PEOPLE.
       This requires: Love, acceptance and forgiveness.
