Subject: How important is your Church? |
Bible Note: Hello again Brian. I'll try and answer your questions as best I can with the Lord's help! Q. What do I expect from my church? A. I expect to minister and be ministered to for/by the body of Christ when we are gathered together to give praise, thanks and glory to God worshipping him in song, word, tithing, communion, breaking bread and excersizing our gifts among eachother so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Eph. 4:11-13) Q. Do I receive this from my current church and not from the former? A. I am receiving from this church and I did from the former also. Q. What do I bring to the church to help make the church more meaningful in bringing other members to a closer realationship to Jesus? A. I bring to the church myself (as God is molding me) with the gifts and fruits of the Spirit as God has mearsurably given to each of us to bring fullness to the whole local body. P.S. I want you to know Brian, that the Lord has used your questions in a timely fashion to speak to me about my heart for the church (local body)and His purposes for me in it. Thank you for your questions!! Hugger |
