Title: Leave this to them
Contents
Although the early church in the book of Acts was a church made up of the full work of the Holy Spirit, compared to the present church, it is inexhaustible. It is a church that does not have a space to worship as much as you want, and has a poor organization, system, and management as a church and has no history and tradition to offer. There, the leaders (apostles) also had to be taken to the Jewish council for a while and sold their charity, so that they could avoid the tornado that shook the church moment by moment, so it is not a poomsae to be called a church. As we talked about last week, the 12 apostles are taken to the council, greeted with joy, and go out on that road to the temple and lead the assembly. It's an unfair prison sentence, it's persecution for the sake of righteousness, and it's likely that they hold a grand opening ceremony to commemorate their release from prison and use the momentum to make their name and face known. Before leaving, return to your seat and continue the meeting. Notice the adverbial clause led by “At that time” 6:1. What happened in the church then?
conclusion)
All churches established on this earth have problems. There is no example of God abandoning the church because of that problem. God uses a church that embraces the problem and solves the problem, believing that it is God and rushing to God. Therefore, when problems are revealed, the church needs wisdom to approach God with problems rather than embrace them and fight them. That's the best way to solve a problem rather than give it up.
A church that does not give up on service because various problems arise while serving the church, but takes those problems to God, becomes a church that bears the big cross that solves the problems of the world. I believe that no matter what problems our church encounters, rather than being a church that cannot do God's work because we struggle with those problems, we believe in God's power and take and entrust the issues to God, so that God's Word works and the Word of God flourishes (revival) and makes disciples. I hope to become a church where the number of people increases.
