Essentials Part 6– A Peculiar People
MESSAGE SUMMARY:
In exploring the essence of the church, we're reminded that it's far more than just a building. The church is a living, breathing community of believers, called out by God for a divine purpose. As we delve into the Greek word 'ekklesia,' we understand that we are God's chosen people, set apart and peculiar in His eyes. This message challenges us to embrace our identity as the messianic community, the body of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. How can we tune into the Holy Spirit's frequency in our daily lives, allowing God's voice to guide us?
As members of both the visible and invisible church, we're part of a grand tapestry of faith that spans across time and cultures. Let's reflect on how we can embody the marks of a true church in the 21st century - repenting, reproducing, reconciling, and showing relentless compassion. In doing so, we fulfill our calling as Christ's body on earth, bringing His love and truth to a world in desperate need.
TODAY’S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus’ name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:12f
