Title: Let's Dream of a Good Church
Let's dream of a good church (Rev 1:9-20)
There is one concern that has captured the heart of God, who is the ruler of history, and that is none other than the church. The church is the barracks of heaven and the ark of salvation built on earth to bring God's people, who were taken away by the devil, back to God. In verse 20, the mystery of the seven stars and the seven golden candlesticks is revealed. The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. The purpose of a candlestick is to light a candle and light the world. The church is to be a beacon of the world, to illuminate the light of salvation. That is why our Lord loves the church very much and does not give up on the church because it is a little wrong. Looking at the seven churches in Asia Minor in Revelation 2-3, two churches were praised, but five had serious problems. Still, the Lord did not give up on those churches and promised to reward them if they repent and overcome. If Jesus loves the church like this and has great expectations for the church, shouldn't we who have been saved because of Jesus also love the church?
② Second, in order to become the good church we dream of, both the clergy and the saints must mature together. The seven churches in Asia Minor all grew beautifully at first, but as the years passed, the Church of Sardis became a dead church, and the churches of Pergamum and Thyatira became secularized while they loved money and pleasure. It became a church I wanted to abandon. In 2012, as faith continues to grow and grow, the miracle of water turning into wine, the miracle of curing cancer, the miracle of conceiving a child, the miracle of finding a job, the miracle of business boom, the miracle of forgiveness and love, etc. bless you to be
Today's worship service will be held at Gyeseong High School for the remodeling of the parish for the time being. Please pray a lot and give gifts as much as you can to redecorate the beautiful church!! To those who overcome, he will give the fruit of the tree of life, eternal life, manna, white stones, and authority over all nations. We pray that this blessing will come to you by creating the beautiful Seomun Church that we dream of together.
