2.11 | Confessions, Covenants, Constitutions, OH MY!!
from All of the Above · host Ridgewood Church
Over the last 18 months we've been slowly working on our founding documents - our statement of faith, covenant, and constitution. Maybe you hear that and maybe you think to yourself: Why mess with a church covenant, statement of faith, and constitution in the first place? They aren't in the bible. The early church didn't need them. Churches in other parts of the world are getting along fine without them. Why do WE need them? Why all of this extra work? Isn't this just "traditions of men" being piled onto the word of God unnecessarily complicating things? Isn't this distracting from the mission to make Jesus known, love our neighbors, and preach the gospel? Why? Why? WHY? Give this episode listen for any answer to those burning questions and a little bit of life advice with Josh Styles.
