One Quick Thought

The Church That Changes the World

Embark on a captivating video podcast series that will teach you to build a church that follows in Jesus’s life-changing footsteps.

Listen/watch:

“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

— Ephesians 3:10-11 NIV

The church in the New Testament was bold and heroic; they changed their world in just three decades.

Every Christian should believe that we can do the same. This series will inspire us to radically change the way we think about church so that we see the church the way God does. Church is not just about getting together; it’s about building a powerful community of people whose simple decision to live like Jesus did brings lasting change to the world around them.

You and I can each be part of this if we choose to believe in and build the church that changes the world.

  • We need “Deep Forgiveness” when we feel guilty after we have confessed our sin to God and, knowing God forgives us, confessed our sin to people so they can support us in our efforts to change.

  • One of the most difficult aspects of walking with God is believing he will exert his power in and through our lives.

  • “Deep Change” is a dynamic and transformational experience of God. The result reaches deeper than superficial improvement. We become a different person.

  • “Deep Strength” is learning how to walk with God in such a way that we are strong from the inside out.

  • “Deep Strength” has nothing to do with our moral or spiritual performance but rather our passionate pursuit of God, which results in our weaknesses being turned into strengths.

  • Naomi is one of the rare individuals in scripture who demonstrates the “Deep Humility” necessary to see and admit the depth of her brokenness.

  • “Deep Vulnerability” is a one-day quiet time in which we examine the life and faith of Hannah in chapters 1 thru 3 of I Samuel.

  • I Kings is going to be our reading commitment for this quiet time. You are going to pay particularly close attention to Solomon.

  • Proverbs can help us put the spiritual into our deep friendships. In our reading, we should identify the 5-7 qualities of “Deep Spiritual Friendships” we want to practice.

  • At the end of this, you should develop a strengthening faith capable of helping you faithfully endure anything, anytime, anywhere, because you know God is working for your good (Romans 8:28-32 Voice).

  • How do you think greater spiritual depth could make a church strong? What can you do in your own life, family, and house church to make the church strong?

  • “Deep Destiny” is our theme for the day. The question you will be asking is whether or not you believe God has a destiny for your life.
