Main Session 6: A Phenomenal Obedience
The church wasn’t some idea that emerged out of Paul’s missionary journeys. Jesus came to create a new stand-out community that would model to the world what it actually looked like when Jesus ruled. When we read his manifesto known as the Sermon on the Mount, we see that it was (and is) something altogether phenomenal. In these sessions, we take a close look at just what it means to be the people of God.
Replanting A Missional Church
Over 3,500 churches in America are closing their doors for good every year. 70% of all churches are in decline. Replanting a missional church will explore this option of using the seeds of the past to intentionally die with dignity so that much fruit could be harvested as a replanted church (John 12).

Leading the Mission
A leader as elder, must continually check himself. Daniel looks at the motivations, heart attitude and traits required to lead a church.
Biblical Missiology
The church is not a place, but a gathering of individuals into a community to be equipped for the sake of the mission (Acts 14:27). Thus most of our assimilation structures and programs are designed around an internal ecclesiology, and a self centered discipleship process. Everything is individual and internally centered, and the church has forgotten its mission to the world.
Gospel-Centered Theology
n this session we are going to look at the place of theology in the life of the church, individual, and family. The importance of theology can not be overstated since it is our thoughts about God that shape much of how we live our lives and pastor our churches. Theology, however, should be gospel saturated or else it becomes an intellectual exercise rather than a living, pulsing, life changing truths. Here we seek to answer what the Bible is all about, and how all of history is about Jesus and His gospel.
