Who is a minister of the Gospel?  Answer:  Every single believer is a Spirit-empowered minister of the gospel.  In the Great Commission Jesus calls on us to not just make converts, but to make disciples.  One way we do that is by bringing them into the community of believers, helping them to leave behind old values and ways of life and embrace Christ-likeness.  BUT . . . we can only do this if we are the spirit-led community that God intends us to be.  Join us as we talk about what vibrant community looks like and how to avoid the attitudes that crush it.   Sermon originally preached on March 11, 2012.
