WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE PART OF THE CHURCH LIVING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC “…it is not good for man to be alone…” (GENESIS 2:18) PASTOR A. GLEN BASUEL 1. THE CHURCH IS A BODY “4 FOR JUST AS EACH OF US HAS ONE BODY WITH MANY MEMBERS, AND THESE MEMBERS DO NOT ALL HAVE THE SAME FUNCTION, 5 SO IN CHRIST WE, THOUGH MANY, FORM ONE BODY, AND EACH MEMBER BELONGS TO ALL THE OTHERS.” (ROMANS 12:4-5) “THEREFORE, EACH OF YOU MUST PUT OFF FALSEHOOD AND SPEAK TRUTHFULLY TO YOUR NEIGHBOR, FOR WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE BODY.” (EPHESIANS 4:25) “THEY HAVE LOST CONNECTION WITH THE HEAD, FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY, SUPPORTED AND HELD TOGETHER BY ITS LIGAMENTS AND SINEWS, GROWS AS GOD CAUSES IT TO GROW.” (COLOSSIANS 2:19) 2. THE CHURCH IS A FLOCK “KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD. IT IS HE WHO MADE US, AND WE ARE HIS WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE.” (PSALM 100:3) “BE SHEPHERDS OF GOD’S FLOCK THAT IS UNDER YOUR CARE, WATCHING OVER THEM—NOT BECAUSE YOU MUST, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE WILLING, AS GOD WANTS YOU TO BE; NOT PURSUING DISHONEST GAIN, BUT EAGER TO SERVE;” (1 PETER 5:2) 3. THE CHURCH IS A FAMILY “…YOU WILL KNOW HOW PEOPLE OUGHT TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN GOD’S HOUSEHOLD, WHICH IS THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH.” (1 TIMOTHY 3:15) “BE DEVOTED TO ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. HONOR ONE ANOTHER ABOVE YOURSELVES.” (ROMANS 12:10) HOW CAN I GET CONNECTED TO THIS CHURCH FAMILY? “…THEY GAVE THEMSELVES FIRST OF ALL TO THE LORD, AND THEN BY THE WILL OF GOD ALSO TO US.” .
