sermon
God has called each of us to be a member of the eternal kingdom of God. We now want to be faithful servants of the glorious God. However, if someone does not know the principles of the church work that God has established and tries to work only with their own thoughts and human zeal, like a ship sailing without a destination, it will not be able to accomplish God's will.
What principles are contained in the ministry of the church? If the Antioch Church, which was established in the first foreign land, discovers the essence of the church through the process of establishing ministers and growing, and realizes how God works through the church, our church will be able to show the direction the Korean church should take. .
1. There are various people in one church. (Acts 13:1) There were many kinds of people in the church in Antioch, but they became one body.
there was. In the kingdom of God, each nation, culture, and race gather to form one family. People tend to reject me and others, but Greece
The Taoists unite them all with love.
2. The Holy Spirit has commanded us to set them apart (verses 2, 3). The church is one body of Christ, but there are divisions in it for functions. hands and eyes
Just as they each function differently in one body by being different, the Holy Spirit has commanded us to set aside ministers for the work of calling out the members of the church.
3. The ministers were led by the Holy Spirit (verse 4)
Not only are they distinguished from each other as they are subjected, but they work in harmony as they receive the guidance of one Holy Spirit. We work with and through the Church.
Poetry builds a harmonious church by obeying the Holy Spirit.
The Lord wants to bless us through the Church. Since the church is the body of Christ, the head, when we become united in love in the Holy Spirit and obey the will of Christ, the saints grow and the church develops to glorify God.
