God Gives The Church

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

God gives the church great flexibility in the way it does  things --but not in what it does . The words of Jesus in Matthew 28 make the mission of the church clear : The responsibility for disciplining rests with the church and all believers . In other words , your church is given the instruction to take the spiritual initiative for cultivating an environment of love , trust , and obedience to God ,all for His glory . It is not an environment that pushes cataclysm--sudden or drastic change in lives--but instead one that nurtures the transformation of believers from man's nature into God's nature .
