Culture of Belonging Within The Church

Message: Culture of Belonging Within The Church
Preacher: Pastor Vladimir Savchuk

Matthew 9:35-38

People need power, pasture, pastors, and purpose.

God is looking for laborers, not just more leaders. We are laborers of love (Her 6:10; 1Th 1:3)

Every church has a culture. “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Peter Drucker. Every church culture happens either by default or design.

Many people need to belong before they can believe, and everyone who believes needs to belong so that they can become.

How to welcome new guests to church?
Example: Lot attracted strangers. Sodom attacked visitors. (Genesis 19:2)
Example: Father had an invitational attitude. The older son was indifferent in his attitude. (Luke 15:20)

People aren’t looking for a friendly church they are looking for friends in the church.
If I can’t connect with everyone it shouldn’t stop me from connecting with someone.

1. Some people will never believe until they belong. Jesus invited disciples to follow before they believed (Mt 4:19). Jesus asked to remove the stone before He spoke the word to the dead man. (John 11:39)

2. Some people will never become if they don’t belong
Isaac and Ishmael had the same father but were raised by a different mother. Every believer has same heavenly Father but they can be raised by either culture or Scriptures.
