ESTABLISHING CHURCHES 6 - ONE ANOTHER

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH-PLANTING | CHURCH | COMMUNITY | NEW TESTAMENT | LOVE | SERVE | KOINONIA

John 13:34-35 – 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.” The Bible’s picture of the church is more than just a weekly gathering. It’s a family who lay their lives down for one another.

ESTABLISHING CHURCHES 5 - EVERYONE HAS A PART

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH-PLANTING | CHURCH | COMMUNITY | BOOK OF ACTS | GIFTS | BODY | GRACE

Ephesians 4:15-16 – “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” When Jesus launched the church, He envisioned it as a community in which every member had a part to play, and when everyone was doing what they were made to do, the body would grow. You matter.

ESTABLISHING CHURCHES 4 - THE POWER AND PRESENCE OF GOD

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH-PLANTING | CHURCH | COMMUNITY | BOOK OF ACTS | POWER | HOLY SPIRIT

Describing the early church, Acts 2:43 says, “And awe came upon every soul.” Time and again, the New Testament applies the same words to the early church: awe, wonder, amazement, astonishment… Compared to everything seen until that point, the church was different, the church was otherworldly. Because the church was filled with the very real power and presence of God. From the very beginning, God’s Spirit and power dwelt in His church. It is meant to be no different today.

ESTABLISHING CHURCHES 3 - Five Characteristics of this New Kind of Community

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH-PLANTING | CHURCH | COMMUNITY | LOVE | UNITY | WORD OF GOD | BOOK OF ACTS

Does something about the American church experience seem odd to you? Like it’s so different from what we see in the New Testament? If you’ve ever felt like that, you’re not alone. Jesus’ heart for the church was not to have a weekly religious meeting but to have a community of radical love, unity, and devotion to the Word of God, a community that would bring healing and restoration to a broken world.

The New Testament picture of church is more than a building with a steeple and stained glass windows. It’s more than a weekly religious service. It’s a life-changing, devil-stomping, sin-crushing community of love.

What do you think of when you hear the word “church”? Do you envision an old building with a steeple and stained glass windows? Or maybe you think of an event that takes place Sunday mornings… But church is meant to be so much more for you than just a building or an event. God is doing something new in the world today as His people cry out for the real life of the church!

Raising Up Leaders 3 – World’s Greatest Leader

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 3 - WORLD'S GREATEST LEADER

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING | ADVENTURE | SERVANT | CRITICS

When you think of history’s greatest leaders, who comes to mind? Maybe great men or women like George Washington, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, or Martin Luther King. Steven Covey defined leadership as “communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” With this definition, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better leader than Jesus, a man who took 12 average guys and created a 2000-year-old organization that has spread to every corner of the planet. So what were Jesus’ leadership qualities? How can we be a leader like Him?

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 2 - SOLDIERS, ATHLETES, AND FARMERS

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING | ROMAN SOLDIERS | OLYMPIC GAMES

2 Timothy 2:3-6 – “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” To pursue your calling in God and carry the burden of leadership is not going to be easy. In fact, it’s going to take a lot of hard work, suffering like a Roman soldier, giving it your all like an Olympic athlete, working long hard hours to get a harvest like a farmer.

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 1 - A NEW CONCEPT OF LEADERSHIP

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EARLY CHURCH | BOOK OF ACTS | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING

When Jesus launched His church, it was a kingdom operating under radical new concepts of leadership. Rather than finding leaders from among the nobility, the skilled, the strong, or any number of other criteria, Jesus found His leaders from among normal people coming from all walks of life. He took them, with all their hang-ups, imperfections, and flaws, and raised them up to become pillars in His new Kingdom. This was a radical new concept of leadership, one that is ingrained in the DNA of the church to this day. So what are you going to do about it? Will you let Jesus raise you up to carry the burden of leadership in His church? Or will you let others have all the fun? 🙂
