"The Church"
I am sure that most everyone who reads "The World This Week" knows that the Flower Child attends a Church.
This past Sunday, October 18, 2009 the Sermon was about "What is The Church?"
We learned that there are several valid concepts pertaining to this question. The Pastor focused on three with the promise that this was at least a two part Sermon.
  1. "We are in God's image." Just check out the first book of the Bible. We are expected to love, show joy and reflect God for other people.
  2. As Christians we "Are a Great Nation." All will be blessed through you (us). This was God's promise to Abram. "We (you) are blessed so we can be a blessing to others."
  3. A Church is a group of Christians - a chosen race, a holy nation. We are commanded to proclaim to others. We are to share the good news of the Kingdom of God. To share the news of God's grace for all peoplekind. We are a link between God and the people of the World. We are all priest!

I suspect that the Sermon this Sunday, October October 25 will conclude this series of "What is The Church?"
