What Does It Take To Be A Winning Church?
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
What kind of church is Zion Bishan going to be?
What does it take for the church to be a winning church?
Three hallmarks of a winning church:
I. A Winning Spirit
II. A Dedicated Spirit
III. A Sacrificial Spirit
Reflection Questions:
1. Many of us have been or are dedicated to something (sports, work, studies, hobbies). What “rights” did you give up to pursue it?
2. How can we exercise “self-control” and not run “aimlessly” in our Christian life and ministry
3. What “rights” do you sense God leading you to put aside in order to win others to Christ?
( 3pm & 5pm )
Speaker: Ps David Wong
