Innovative Concepts Mission:
Reaching and redeeming the Unchurched, Making Disciples,
and Multiplying Leaders who establish vibrant churches,
bringing hope and renewal to every community we serve,
to further the expansion of God’s Kingdom.

INTRO
A couple weeks ago we introduced the word Koinonia and talked about how we as a church were going to create that.

Koinonia is not merely about being together physically, but being united spiritually, encouraging one another, and living out the Word of Christ.

This morning I want to go over our values as Innovative Concepts Church, and some changes that we will be making for our service.

SCRIPTURE

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. —John 13:34 NLT

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship,
and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper, and to prayer).
A deep sense of awe came over them all,
and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.
And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.
They sold their property and possessions and shared the money
with those in need.
They worshiped together at the Temple each day,
met in homes for the Lord’s Supper,
and shared their meals with great joy and generosity
all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people.
And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. —Acts 2:42-47 NLT

MISSION
50 of 50 for 50 [50 Gatherings of 50 people each for 50 years]

VISION
REACH THE LOST, MAKE DISCIPLES, MULTIPLY LEADERS

DISCUSSION
1 ) How can we as a church create a culture where corporate prayer feels
welcoming and inclusive?

2) How has participating in corporate prayer impacted your spiritual life?
How can we encourage others to experience that as well?

3) Is Innovative Concepts a church that you would invite your friends or family to? Why or why not?

APPLICATION
1) Corporate prayer (Praying together as a church)

2) LEAD an area of our church (create ownership for our church and the areas
we serve in)

3) Being intentional in inviting people (EACH one REACH one).
Take 2 business cards, and pass them out.
