so this week marks the start of our journey through the 40 days of community. in order to facilitate those who missed out on sunday's sermon or forgot to take notes, myself or any others will try to update the blog on what was shared during sermon on sunday. yup! hopefully and prayerfully this will be a resource during these 40 days and also after we finish this journey.
WEEK ONE: 13th -- 18th January 2009 Sermon Topic: Why we need each other?(session 1) Preacher: Ps Stanley. Scripture Text: John 17:1-26
Three main reasons:
(1) We need each other because it is Jesus' desire and will for us. Bible refrences: John 17:11, 21, 22-> Jesus prays for everyone as a whole. More verses: Psalm 133:1, Romans 12:5, Ephesians 4:5-6
*The very shape of the cross suggests two main transactions that Jesus accomplished. +Upright post stands for restoration of our communion +Horizontal post stands for restoration with one another Ephesians 2:13-18
* Genuine commission with God translates active participation into the building of community.
*It is impossible to love God without loving our neighbour.
*By taking one side of the cross, be it horizontal or vertical, we are destroying the cross and what it symbolizes.
*The point of conversion at the cross is where we ought to be, when we obey both sides of the cross.
(2) We need each other for protection. Bible refrences: John 17:11, Ephesians 6:12
*FYI: The Devil meant advesary in the old Testament and Satan in the New Testament
*when the church lacks love, the church will break down.
(3) We need each other to be effective witnesses for Christ.
i hope this is sufficent. it's not complete cos i think i went toilet during the last part or something hahaha.
