Why Church Renewal? A Definition

Should dying churches be left on the vine? Is renewal just for struggling churches? How do we begin the process of church revitalization? On Flourish's Church Renewal Podcast, we're exploring this definition of church renewal:Church Renewal is the process by which a person or church body experiences a new awareness of their sin and need for God’s grace; their  privileges as ambassadors of the kingdom and as sons and daughters of God; a new appreciation for their place as they anticipate the kingdom of God coming and reaching that place; a new prayerfulness and passion to share the good news; holistic discipleship; a new curiosity to know God, the self, and the world; a new awareness to the missionary opportunity around them; a new joy and reverence in worship; a new personal commitment to the means of grace.Each week we'll explore a different aspect of this definition and talk about the ways that Jesus is renewing his church. We do it because there's only one fully sufficient reason that today dawned: Jesus is still gathering a people to himself and he's using the church to do it. We'd love to dig into the ways that Jesus is renewing your church.
