Show Notes

The Church Renewal Podcast is a production of Flourish Coaching. Flourish exists to set leaders free to be effective wherever God has called them. When pastors and churches get stuck, Flourish Coaches renew their hope int he gospel and help them gain strategic clarity.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:14

We continue working through our definition of Church Renewal in this episode:

Church Renewal is the process by which a person or church body experiences a new awareness of their sin and need for God’s grace;their  privileges as ambassadors of the kingdom and as sons and daughters of God; a new appreciation for their place as they anticipate the kingdom of God coming and reaching that place; a new prayerfulness and passion to share the good news; holistic discipleship; a new curiosity to know God, the self, and the world; a new awareness to the missionary opportunity around them; a new joy and reverence in worship; a new personal commitment to the means of grace.

Does your church have a "sense of place" - that where your congregation's location is a mission field and that there's missionary work to do right there? We exposit our commonly used phrase "the one, fully sufficient reason that this day dawned" as it applies to a local congregation. Is your church a missionary tactical force to your neighborhood?

Contact Flourish on our site, or reach out to on Facebook or Twitter to engage the conversation about church renewal and the doctrine of adoption. Stop in on the Church Renewal Blog for extra content on the relationship between adoption and renewal.
