Four Marks of the Healthy Church

What is a healthy church? Far from focusing on entertainment or felt needs, a biblically vital congregation is characterized by learning and growth. Such a church is grounded in the objective and saving truth of who Jesus is, which leads to fellowship in God’s grace, reverent praise, and evangelism that draws others to Christ. In this message, Alistair Begg shows us how biblical teaching, loving fellowship, and living worship will naturally create a congregation that is engaged and growing.

On a personal level, doing the basics most of the time. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). I sometimes let myself get bogged down with remembering so many Bible dates, events, teachings etc, that I regularly need to step back take a breath and reaffirm myself with the basics. I understand that first and foremost the purpose of the Bible, is to reveal God to us. The Bible also tells us who we are. It tells us of our sin and of God’s plan of salvation in Jesus Christ. By reaffirming myself with the basics I am talking about living right to the glory of my Father in heaven, being honest, kind, and generous to others; respecting others, forgiving those who have wronged me; and is my faith and trust in God alone to guide me through life or am I off on only my own strength and wisdom again. Also looking at my relationship with the Lord, my reading of God's word and my prayer life, my relationship with my brothers and sister in Christ, my attendance on a Sunday and any other meetings, my willingness and ability to share the Word of God to other etc. Thankyou Father for your patience.

There were several times in the gospels when the disciples got things very badly wrong. The Bible carries on after the Ascension of Jesus because the early church got things very badly wrong. The perfect church does not exist on Earth. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it!!!
