What made the New Testament church different? Pastor Rogers says it was rigid, respected, revolutionary, and responsive, qualities that feel almost countercultural today. In this message from Proverbs 29:18, Pastor Rogers challenges pastors to stop measuring their churches against neighboring congregations and start measuring against the New Testament pattern instead.
Pastor Rogers lays out a vision for “wholesomeness” in ministry: preaching the whole Bible, presenting the whole Christ, mobilizing the whole church, ministering to the whole man, and reaching the whole world. This episode will help you cast a vision for your own congregation that’s big enough to match the calling God has placed on it.
“A vision is knowledge, but it is more than knowledge. It is knowledge on fire.” —Adrian Rogers
