Why is it that so many people are interested in Jesus Christ but ambivalent about the Christian church? Perhaps it is because the church too often fails to be the kind of community Jesus Christ designed it to be, a community which appeals to the deepest longings of the human heart. In my just completed sermon series, The Church You’ve Always Wanted, I outline eight characteristics of the Christ-designed community that are found in Acts 2:42-47:
- A Learning Church (February 4, 2007)
- A Sharing Church (February 11, 2007)
- A Thankful Church (February 18, 2007)
- A Praying Church (February 25, 2007)
- A Supernaturally Empowered Church (March 4, 2007)
- A Large Small Church (March 11, 2007)
- A Reputable Church (March 18, 2007)
- A Growing Church (March 25, 2007)
