Our Church
This morning is all about us as a church.
Our Church Lunch and discussion was really awesome this past Sunday afternoon.
Thank you to all who attended and gave their input.
We have celebrated 3 people coming to faith in Jesus this past year!
That’s three celebrations in heaven that God used us to trigger.
We saw four young people get baptized this past year!
Our garage now sits on a brand new foundation!
We have a lot to praise God for!
We also have some struggle in front of us.
Our finances are struggling a bit.
When we face difficult times we do not worry.
We do not fear.
We do not give up.
When we face uncertainty we turn to the one who is certain and we seek his will.
This morning’s sermon is about how we do that as a church.
What has Jesus called us to?
How has God designed us?
What is our role?
As we trust God and look to him fro provision, what do we do?
Be Salty
First we listen to Jesus: Read with me
Jesus has much more to say to his church but this simple truth is a good place to start.
Are we salty?
Do we make a difference?
Are we able to accomplish our intended purpose?
Are we spreading light?
Is our life directing people to Jesus?
Is it bringing glory to the Father?
Jesus says that salt that has lost it’s taste is useless.
So, If a person isn’t really living for him . . .
they make no lasting impact.
If a church isn’t really living for him . . .
they make no lasting impact.
Who each of us chose to be will determine the health and longevity of the church we are a part of.
Be Set Apart
If we want to know the will of God for our church then we have to begin by offering ourselves to Him.
It’s everything
So there are individual commitments that impact the whole of the church.
Be Saints
The Purpose of Leaders is
God gave the work of Leadership to certain people.
It is a gifting with a specific task.
Equip the Saints for the work of the ministry
Build up the body of Christ
The goal of that work is:
Move the church toward the unity of faith and knowledge of the son of God
Preach
Teach
Counsel
Move the church toward maturity
Train to worship
Train to live biblically
Train to persevere
Move the church to be like Christ
Prepare for the mission
Prepare for the next generation
The effect on the Church is:
The church won’t be led astray.
(v.
14) Ephesians 4:14
The church will speak the truth in love.
(v.
15) Ephesians 4:15
The church will grow in every part of life, into Christ.
(v.15) Ephesians 4:15
The church will work in their Christ given giftedness.
(v.
16) Ephesians 4:16
The church will grow.
(v.
16) Ephesians 4:16
How do we "Be the Church”?
Acknowledge that Jesus is our head.
He has given us leaders to learn from
He has gifted all of us to be involved in ministry
Do our part in the Body.
Be Salty - Share Jesus love with someone
Be Set Apart - Live every day for Jesus
Be Saints - Depend on each other
Never forget, we are part of HIS Church!
Our saltiness is tied to our love for each other.
God didn’t design us as lone rangers.
We are built for relationship with him and for each other.
That is what our summer picnics are about.
This summer we will have family picnics every Sunday after church.
What does it look like when a family comes together to hang out at the park.
You bring your own picnic lunch.
You bring yourself.
You bring your chair, your volleyball, your you-name-it and we all have fun together.
We build relationships.
We build memories.
We share in each others lives.
We invite others to join us.
What part can you play?
COME! Be there.
This is the lowest threshold invitation you will ever get.
If you normally spend the afternoon with others . . .
invite them.
