Three Myths about Church

James Rochford

1 Peter 2:4-10

Three myths about church are: the church is a beautiful or boring building, to become a Christians I need to join a church, and the purpose of the church is to sing songs. The church is not a building or a place but it is it's people. Joining a church membership roll does not make one a Christian. The church is the community of people who have placed their faith in Jesus to forgive their sins. The primary purpose of the church is not to sing songs but to share Jesus' message with a hurting world.

United for a Purpose

Kate Mizelle

1 Timothy 1:5

Do we recognize that the biblical call to evangelism is not just an individual call, but a corporate call? To fully embrace what God intended, we must understand the unique witness that the body has to a lost world and why our best experience of community comes from when we are focused together on those outside of it. In this workshop we will also brainstorm some practical ideas on how to utilize community in evangelism.

The Practice of Neighboring

Jay Pathak

1 Timothy 1:5

The practice of neighboring is engaging your neighborhood in a meaningful way by building genuine relationships right out your front door. In our culture we have under-valued the power of hospitality with our neighbors. We can reclaim the ability to influence our neighbors for Christ by moving from acquaintances to relationships by sharing meals, remembering people's names and opening up our homes to the people living in our neighborhoods.

Who Is my Neighbor in the Global Village?

Jim Leffel

Luke 10:25-37

The parable of the Good Samaritan has applications for the church today as can be seen in the priorities of Dwell Global Partnerships. Jim Leffel describes this parable in contrast to religious and secular teaching on human suffering and how biblical missions addresses the spiritual and social crises of our day. Key Christian movements in church history and initiatives from Dwell partnerships with indigenous ministries will be used to illustrate these principles.

The Theology of Neighboring

Jay Pathak

Luke 10:25-30

This teaching demonstrates the power of the simple act of establishing and growing relationships with your neighbors. We can trust that God may well have us in a particular location so we can meet the physical and spiritual needs of our particular neighbors, and even simple steps lead to people being more open to the gospel message as we offer our warmth and friendship.

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

Ben Foust

John 4:1-42

One might suppose the Samaritan woman at the well would be the least likely person to ever follow Jesus. She is the wrong gender, race, religion, and morality. The barriers are numerous. Yet, Jesus pursues the unlikely, like this sinful woman who doesn't even know she is thirsty. She learns she is very thirsty, and the only thing that will quench that thirst is a relationship with God. Jesus has removed every barrier to receiving the living water he offers.

Paul's Guide to Max Gains

Scott Risley

Philippians 1:12-26

Paul, the greatest Christian evangelist of all time, sits in prison, chained to guards day and night. What appears to be a devastating blow to the spread of the Gospel, is actually part of God's plan so he can do an even bigger work. Rather than being frustrated by his chains, by his loss of freedom, Paul lets God use him right where he is, in prison. His immobility actually allowed the Gospel to be spread to the far reaches of the Roman empire through those very guards chained to his wrists.
