Скачать или смотреть An Ever Widening Circle (Message 2, "Escaping the Institution")

In this message, Pastor Mark explains God's intention for every church: to continually grow by inviting, including, and nurturing everyone in the community seeking healing and change. He shares what Bill Easum calls the Basic Law of Congregational Life: Churches that intentionally reach out to others grow, and churches that focus on taking care of themselves die. This is message 2 in the series, 'Escaping the Institution: Reclaiming the Missional Church." There was an emergency this Sunday and we had call an ambulance for one of our members who had an asthma attack about 3 minutes into my message. The video starts after this happened, so my opening remarks summarizing the main point of the series and recapping the previous Sunday were not included.
