Memphis

Pastor Wil Franco

1. Why is it essential for us to remember that the church belongs to Jesus and not to pastors, elders, congregation, denominations, or even culture? How does knowing that truth protect the church from drifting?

2. In our current cultural moment, what does it practically mean and look like for a church to hold fast to His Name (Person), His Word (Bible), and His Work (Gospel)?

3. Why is protecting the gospel just as important as proclaiming the gospel? What happens to a church that neglects to protect the gospel?

4. Why is it dangerous to confuse earthly reputation with heavenly realities? What happens to both churches and believers who confuse these two?

5. Why is repenting and believing not just the starting line of the Christian life, but the continuous rhythm of the Christian life?
