The Emerging Church - Introduction: We Must Examine Everything

---

Text: Revelation 3:20; I Thess.. 5:12-22

This is the introductry message of a series looking at the Emerging Church Movement:

The Emerging Church is a movement that believes in dialog over doctrine.  In examining the scriptures is this approach wise or proper? The Emerging Church Movement is more concerned about experiencing God and not just sitting in a pew watching.  They have a nonauthoritative stance of the Gospel and a non-emphasis of Church leadership.  The Emerging Church Movement also believes in experience over reason.  Each of us will answer to the Lord. In Thessalonians we see that we should "test all things" and we should "examine and cling".
