It clearly defines a community and offers people a clear choice to accept the blessings and responsibilities that go along with it. But even more significantly, church membership is a way for individual Christians to draw closer to God by drawing closer to his church and his people. An effective membership process should be a time of spiritual growth for the member-to-be, and yet so many churches neglect this crucial step into church life. This 18-page resource will help you create a membership process that draws people deeper into their commitment not just to the church but to Christ.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Grow Up!<\/h2>\n\n<p><em>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.preachingtoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Preaching Today<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>How do Christians grow up? Ralph West from Church Without Walls in Houston, Texas argues that it doesn&#8217;t happen in isolation. In his sermon based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ephesians+4%3A13-4%3A16\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" title=\"view Scripture passage at BibleGateway.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Ephesians 4:13-16<\/a>&mdash;&#8221;Grow Up!&#8221;&mdash;West argues that Christians need the body of Christ to grow into maturity. As he says in the sermon, &#8220;You are not designed to grow by the internet. You are not designed to grow by television. You use them in your extra time, but that&#8217;s not your priority. Your growth takes place in the living, breathing, vital community called the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.&#8221; This sermon provides a clear, biblical, exegetical basis for church membership.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 2014 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dig deeper with Richard Hammar in this volume as he establishes the legal definition of the church, and the relationship between the law and the church.
