Sermon Notes 《一齐成长》

经文:弗4:11-16

人是健忘的,让我们莫忘上帝所赐给我们看不见的恩典。

1。建立基督的身体(弗4:11-12)

我们都是基督里的肢体,若肢体不成为身体,教会便无法成长。
我们要明白我们在主里的职分,并且这职分所带来的责任。
一个真正的信徒是不可能只有领受上帝所赐的福分,却不参与事奉,回应神的爱。Let us all do our part!

2。在真道上合而为一(弗4:13)

“对神的儿子都有一致的信仰和认识” - 我们需要在真理上和谐,彼此接纳,分享经历,一起体会更高的信仰层次。

我们的文化背景会否搅乱我们对信仰的认识?
Can we be sure that our faith will bring us back to God?

3。在爱中建立教会(弗4:16)

全民皆兵:彼此牧养。每个信徒都能参与牧养的工作,每个肢体的长处都可以带来生命的祝福。

On a side note, in addition to the reflection on the subject of service yesterday:

"The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. The goal of the call of God is His satisfaction, not simply that we should do something for Him. Are we more devoted to service than we are to Jesus Christ Himself?"
- "It is the Lord!", My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers

Let us remind ourselves once again, never to take our eyes off Jesus, even as we serve Him.
