Power Surge Sundays continue through July 7

For six Sundays, congregation members will present sermons on “Marks of Discipleship”. The presentations will be based on the book, “Power Surge: Six marks of discipleship for a changing church”, by Michael Foss. Foss says there are two mind-sets about church membership:

“Membership Model”: In these churches, belonging to a congregation is like belonging to any other organization. You come together with like-minded people, and you support the organization with your time and money. In return, you get “religious benefits”

“Discipleship Model”. In these churches, the congregation is the starting point for carrying out the Gospel mission, and a place to prepare members for that task. Foss states, “Christian faith is not an accessory to life, rather it is a coherent way of life, a way of being in the world. It is the task of the church to teach and support this way of life…for the sake of individuals and communities.”

He says that Discipleship congregations focus on six areas, presented with the acronym PWRSRG (Power Surge):
*Prayer *Worship *Read the Bible
*Serve both in the congregation and community
*be in Relationships to encourage spiritual growth
*Give of time, talents and resources

Have a blessed day!
