In this sermon, Pastor Dale Partridge will explore the seven biblical expectations for local church members, focusing on the responsibilities of the members rather than just the blessings received. He emphasizes that the Christian life involves a two-way street, with church membership akin to going to the gym rather than the movies, where active participation is vital. At Kings Way, we believe in the importance of not only being consumers but also contributors to the life of the local church.

As we dive into Scripture, we’ll first discuss the two fundamental prerequisites for church membership: professing faith in Christ and understanding the purpose of that faith in Christ. Then, we’ll delve into the seven biblical expectations that provide a framework for how we should engage as committed members of the local church community.
