Sheep Without a Shepherd // Hitting a Homerun (Part 6)

Pastor Vlad talks about the importance of culture in the church and the need for a community for believers. *If you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior for the first time, please go to www.hungrygen.com/vip Notes: Every church has a culture. “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Peter Drucker Every church culture happens either by default or design. If not by default, it will eat the vision. Many people need to belong before they can believe, and everyone who believes needs to belong so that they can become. Belong Stage involves: Life Group Life Class Freedom Weekend Genesis 19:2 NKJV Lot attracted strangers. Sodom attacked visitors. Luke 15:20 Father had an invitational attitude The older son was indifferent in his attitude People aren’t looking for a friendly church they are looking for friends in the church. If I can’t connect with everyone it shouldn’t stop me from connecting with someone. 1. Some people will never believe until they belong Jesus invited disciples to follow before they believed (Mt 4:19) Jesus asked to remove the stone before He spoke the word to the dead man. John 11:39 2. Some people will never become if they don’t belong Isaac and Ishmael had the same father but were raised by a different mother. Galatians 4:22 3. People need pastors, not just pasture. Matthew 9:36-38 Matthew 9:35 Belonging requires compassion and connection. God is looking for laborers, not just more leaders. We are laborers of love (Heb 6:10; 1 Th 1:3) _________ ➡️ Our Website: http://www.hungrygen.com 📽 We are streaming every Sunday🔥 📲 Text "HUNGRYGEN" to 97000 to get text alerts of when we go LIVE! _______________________ Support ❤️ HungryGen: 💒 Donate/Partner: https://hungrygen.com/donate 💌 Check: “Hungry Generation” PO Box 3514, Pasco, WA 99302 __________ Ministry Resources: 👉 Need Deliverance? https://www.hungrygen.com/deliverance 🗣 Got a Testimony? https://www.hungrygen.com/testimony 📧 Get Email Updates: https://www.hungrygen.com/email 🙏 Submit Prayer Request: https://hungrygen.com/needprayer 🎶 Worship: https://hungrygen.com/worship ⏯ Subscribe to Podcast: https://hungrygen.com/podcast Connect with HungryGen 🙌:   / hungrygen     / hungrygen     / hungrygen   #HungryGen #Jesus #HolySpirit #Church
