got church?

Jul 22, 2009

For the past two Sundays, I enjoyed getting to teach about the CHURCH, the messed up, but oh so beautiful bride of Jesus.  He so loved the CHURCH (his people, his gang) his bride, that he gave himself for her.

As we looked at the idea that this group, people, gang, etc. was meant to be tight, a Band of Brothers and Sisters.  And in the past two weeks, I have been so encouraged to hear of people embracing each other in community and LIVING OUT this truth.  I have seen...

- people opening up their home to a stranger who needs a place to stay

- hurting people calling a friend when they are in trouble, and just asking for help, sharing burdens

- people considering how God would want them to be more available to the body as opposed to being more isolated.

- people calling others who seem hurt, lost, or out of sorts.

Thank you, great people at WCC.  As we embrace the truths of God and live them out, we will, by God's grace, continue to be more like the people that He has called us to be.

 

Keep it up!
