An Organic Movement: Cultivating Missional Discipleship

Madison Church

What if institutional rules are keeping you from true compassion? Join us as Lead Pastor Stephen Feith brings to life a story from Mark 3, where Jesus challenges conventional Sabbath laws with an act of healing. This episode is a powerful reminder that the essence of God's commands is to promote rest and goodness, not strict adherence to rules. You'll hear inspiring personal stories from our Madison Church community as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, filled with fun activities and delicious food, all while reflecting on how institutionalism can sometimes overshadow genuine faith and compassion.
Discover the blueprint for a vibrant, organic church movement in our discussion on disciple-making. Emphasizing the necessity of living under Jesus's lordship, we explore how adopting a missional and incarnational approach can help us reach beyond church walls. We'll dive into the APEST framework, which empowers every believer to contribute actively. Learn how flexible, resilient structures within the church can allow the Spirit to move freely, fostering a dynamic and adaptable community reminiscent of the early church's vitality.
As we look ahead to our future, we invite you to embrace missional discipleship within our inclusive community. Breaking down traditional barriers, we encourage everyone—regardless of background—to take on leadership roles. We challenge you to move beyond consumer Christianity, inspired by Peter's leap of faith, and live missionally. Reflecting on Madison Church's transformative journey, we dream of a thriving missional movement that brings healing, purpose, and strong relationships to Madison and beyond. Celebrate this significant milestone with us and be inspired to create lasting, positive change.
