Title: Receive One Another (Romans 15:1-7)
Our Hanbit Church decided to plant in October 1988, and on November 20, 1988, the 2nd floor of the shopping street, 26 Bongcheon 6-dong.
The founding service was held at 50 pyeong.
Today, our Hanbit Church celebrates its 15th anniversary, with 6 clergy, 8 elders, 11 ordained deacons, 17 bureaucrats,
There are about 350 members, including 7 honorary priests, 132 deacons in Seori, and Sunday students.
Hanbit Church is not lavishly luxurious, but it is steadily reviving and growing, and has 9 evangelism meetings and evangelism meetings.
We are doing our best in small groups at the commando division 12 and each Sunday school, and we are doing our best to fulfill our responsibilities and missions.
Thank you for giving yourself zealously.
In this way, it is only through 15 years of preparation and spiritual rearmment that we begin to see what God is pleased and desired.
It has become a missionary church, the flower of gospel ministry.
And we must become a church that fulfills the mission of welfare in this age and the horizontal relationship with the local community.
Today, we are moving towards a rapidly aging society.
Due to the phenomenon of the times when the gap between the rich and the poor or the cultural gap is getting worse, the marginalized class or unstable society
The structure is spreading.
As long as we carry out the mission that God has entrusted to us vertically, we depend on the horizontal demands of the times and society.
It is also inevitable for us to carry out one welfare mission.
This is what we have prepared so far and this is the mission we must bear.
In that sense, today, along with Thanksgiving Sunday, we present a new vision on the 15th anniversary of the founding of the church.
is going to be
1. We must become a church that pleases our neighbors.
Our church was established for several purposes.
To expand the kingdom of God, to spread the gospel of salvation of Jesus Christ, and to share a life filled with the Holy Spirit.
is that
Therefore, the value of our church's existence is not in ourselves, but in how much we spread the light and love of the gospel to our neighbors
I am doing
Our church has been too focused on internal affairs.
We have been satisfied with loving, serving, sharing and giving.
Now, our church, which is mature and mature, should look after the weak, please our neighbors, and do good.
You must build a high virtue.
(Romans 15:1) We who are strong ought to bear the weakness of the weak, and not please ourselves.
Ira"
“(Romans 15:2) Let each one of us please his neighbor, for his good and edification.”
“(Romans 15:3) Christ did not please Him …”
Now we have to open our eyes from the inside out and dream from the inside out.
And we have to open the vision from the inside out.
There are still so many people around us who need our touch.
It is for this reason that it is natural for us to do missionary work and welfare.
It's not what I want to do.
It's not because I have a strong will and I can afford it.
As long as we have the thrill of salvation and the mission of evangelism, God will guide the rest of us for good.
All.
God is pleased with a church that pleases its neighbors in this way.
2. We must become a church that has hope through patience.
What we do is not to cover up yesterday.
Nor is it to wrap up today.
We must move forward with hope and challenge for tomorrow.
Even if you had a painful wound yesterday, you should be able to use the wound as a testimony.
Even if you are lacking and weak today, you should use it as an opportunity to serve the Lord with zeal.
Even if you lack a certain hope for tomorrow, you must have hope with patience or the comfort of the Bible.
“(Romans 15:4) Whatever was written before was written for our instruction, that we may
to have hope through patience or the comfort of the Scriptures."
" (Romans 15:5) Now the God of patience and comfort, may you be like one another, imitating Christ Jesus,
injection "
Even if the purpose is to establish a church that is pleasing to God, it is to revive by human means and methods.
is not correct.
A church that only rich people attend, or a church that only lawyers, entertainers, sportsmen, and politicians attend, is the ministry God wants.
It's not about making enemies.
In the world, helping each other and helping each other with useful information and career paths is the most important thing in the world.
It may be necessary and beneficial to have cohesion and cohesion, but everyone loves and serves together.
There is bound to be a sense of distance between crawling, sharing, giving and expanding the kingdom of God.
Our church is not trying to increase power or power in the world.
While enduring and waiting to the end, with hope in the comfort of the Bible, do your best in the gospel and all people
This should be a church that serves together.
3. We must become a church that accepts each other.
Today's churches are too selfish and steeped in individualism, ecclesiasticalism and closureism.
The church is too large a political organization or collectivized, and it is too wary and distant from the world.
and feeling disconnected.
As a result, rather than preaching the gospel and serving people in Christ, we form a group within the church.
They seem to be happy, satisfied, and enjoying themselves.
But Jesus expects us to live as salt as a light in the world.
He wants you to carry out your mission with light in darkness.
(Romans 15:6) With one heart and one mouth, to the glory of God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
I'm trying"
(Romans 15:7) Therefore, as Christ received us to the glory of God, so also you
take it"
We need faith and theology to accept and open up to each other.
A new direction for individualism and ecclesiastical tendencies spread throughout the Korean church and
In order to present the right path, we, Hanbit Church, should be a model that we can set an example for.
That is mission and welfare.
Mission to the world, welfare to the country, culture to the church,
Mission about relationship with God as a servant, welfare for people horizontally, and fellowship with the saints inwardly
We must fulfill our cultural mission for beautiful fellowship.
To do that, we need to become a church that accepts each other.
The church has its essential mission and purpose.
That is evangelism and love of neighbor.
If you can't handle this properly, you're not doing God's work properly.
A church that pleases neighbors, a church that has hope through patience, and a church that accepts each other
I believe that this is a church that you are happy with.
Let's move forward together to build a church that is pleasing to God.
