The Church | Pr Janaronson Nagarajah

You're listening to a message to go from axt church. We hope this message

will light up your day. First Corinthians, chapter twelve. Today's topic is

I actually don't have a topic. But you can call it the church.

You can call it the community. Why don't today's topic is whatever topic you

will give after the worship service, don't. First Coridians, the twelve verse

twelve. It says, first, the body is one and has many members.

But all members of that one body, being mainly are one body.

So also is Christ this for by one spirit we wire all baptized into one

body, whether the juice or Greeks, where the slaves are free and have

all been made to drink into one spirit. For in fact the body is

not one member, but many tyrant citans. If the food should say,

because I am not a hand, I am not the body, is it

therefore not of the body. And if the years should say, because I

am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore

not of the body? Who sends the insert your pussu who ss it?

If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If

the whole we're hearing, where would be the smelling roch roch tonal won't wait.

But now God has set the members, each one of them in the

body just as he pleased. Is pacity anti unpian. And if they were

all one member, where would the body be than any? But now indeed

there are many members, yet one body that rut chastagirl and the eye cannot

say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the

head to the feet, I have no need of you. You don't put

down, don't put down it no much. Rather, those members of the

body which seem to be weaker, unnecessary, but that Russian you wish to

run, and those members of the body which we think to be less honorable,

on this we bestow greater honor. And our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,

since but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body,

having given greater honor to that part which lacks it. That there should

be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same

care for one another. Since woman can put to make women to the thirty,

and you put out paid that the team again you change here the teeth

thirty. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it,

or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. So

on. So dit et pielot. Now you are the body of Christ and

members individually. Even since I just to see to the tote, we'll fast

forward to chapter thirteen. Was one door I speak, okay, probably not

that, uh, people, just everything, And God has appointed this in

the church. First apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles,

then gifts of healings, helped administrations. Variety of tongues? Are all

apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do

all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts? And yet I show you

a more excellent way. So slid the sen Jesus is sing Internet tis the

eating the boundary render Italy. So the she doses too much? She does

those she does sing inanam she does, eating them, she does, she

shining cinnamon following me. So far everyone understand, I'm gonna enter chapter thirteen,

Verse one. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

but I have not loved I have become sounding brass or a clanging symbol.

Well get this is Santantijo, so our run one, and the funny

and pink meal tings to the him. I would turn in the law,

ban boy ban. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all

mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove

mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. Well, royal army,

champay. The thing you want to go, I will do. And

though I bestore all my goods to fit the poor, And though I give

my body to be burned, but I have not love, it profits me

nothing. Soil the toty children you thirty cern cha room in south iron and

evil. We love suffers long and it's kind love that's not envy. Love

that's not parade itself, it's not patht sun. Children, Your does not

behave rudely, does not seek its own. It's not provoked things not evil.

Do's not rejoice in equity, but rejoices in the truth. Bear all

things, believe all things, hopes, all things, endures, all things

high opportunity, the issue pushing push finds power fan children what it love never

feels the party. Amen, Amen, praise God for his word. That

so this was a possible writing to the people in Corinth. So in Girl,

when you read chapter eighteen, you realized that the postal Paul actually spent

one and a half years in Corinth, planted the church and discipled the church.

Actually, Girl, when he wrote this letter pistols to them, he

was actually in Ephesus, so down from from singer So society. So for

a period of time Paul was away from the church. He planted so the

not so hon and then he began to hear news about the well being of

this church. No, no, that not so Jan, how people are

beginning to take sights just shin shin Champ. There was division among the people

there, nonally down down downs you put on the there were no order in

the church. So here Paul is trying to encourage them to be united.

And today, if I have one goal to share with you, is to

help you to appreciate the fact that being in a christ like community is good

for you. To the church in the towns owner first point, love is

the hot beat of the church. I just send the the other Intel special

designer, help me to design this. I just give black and white and

designer design. So love is the heart bit of church. So when you

read chapter thirteen, you realize that the greatest ingredient, or the highest calling,

I would say for you and I is to love one and there as

Christ has loved. So this cannotat that unstu ie women, that woman,

actually I beat. The measure of the church is not in how much we

sorry. The measure of the church is how much we have loved, and

not how much we have achieved. Woman, woman. The omen Wan says

that you know, if he has the gift of prophecy, he can release

word to people. He have the gift of healings. Even if he sold

everything he has and give to the poor, if he has not loved,

it profits him nothing so idle. So when you progress in your faith and

you progress in life, in your career, remember it's not how much you

have attained, It's not how many ties tools you have accumulated. But at

the end of the day, I believe when we stand face to face with

God at the judgment throne, one of the questions he will ask is how

much have you loved? I sing your eyels. So everything that we do

must represent God's love for each other. You can only represent God's love once

you have experienced his love. So where you need to can't share with you

Something which I myself don't have can inference, and so neither can I steal

If I don't have neither can I steal from you and share it with someone

experience and something she can inference. When you have truly experienced the forgiveness that

Jesus have given you, when you're fully transformed by his love, you should

share it. So in the time it's just eyelight you pay in garage.

You sounds why because now you no longer represent yourself, you represent God.

Make no mistake. We are all still working progress so over the issues of

a maker. And that turns down, Jesus didn't save you too so that

you can immediately be perfect. We still have our personal struggles omens sours are

still dealing with our bad habits tel times, omens w sequa. Make no

mistake. He gives us the power to overcome. Just hire your So tell

people this. Jesus is not looking for perfection, but he's looking at us

so that every day we can become better than the day before. So it's

just the year, it's a woman her. So in here we are diverse,

but one no, no, totally, you don't put on I love

how Paul make it so illustratious for them that she down sing wrong. The

hand cannot say to the lake, I'm not part of the body. The

eye cannot say to the ear, I don't need you. The nose cannot

say to the hand, I don't need you. Nega beats. The eyes

cannot say to the hand, I don't need you. And so so so

every part of your body right now needs one another. So in a season,

isn't it something that may beats? Why? Because each part of the

body has a part to play, and every part is important. So saying

we may it conn't he sounds a poofns deepen made ekaloda, God, in

his wisdom have designed us to be unique compared to the rest of the creation.

Tata woman anti woman actually trans our woman the negative. I believe scripture

says that we are made also better than the angels something, so that woman

Tata woman is also betainda. You're uniquely made, fearfully and wonderfully made in

God's image in which woman make wait, So every part is important so it

may it isn't he sound a puff? And no one part of your body

is not important? Okay, sod yoda. Even though you feel that you

know, you don't usually use which power body? We don't usually use a

lot. Let's say we don't use I brow very important girls, girls?

Right at least I say, even though if don't use your eyebrow a lot,

it's still important. Certainly something may maw young. So when God created

us, he has detailed out there there is every part that is important,

just as thou has that chance, O woman? How do we translate it

here? Right? It basically means the body of Christ refers to the church.

Certain just who are the part? We are the part no woman certainly

make when we come together we are known as the body of Christ. Migrant.

When I am alone, I cannot say I am the body of Christ.

I'm a part of the body that was certain words, you have a

role in this church. So you know why is you down on you?

You have a role in this body. He tries towns. Only you need

to Nobody can say you're not important, So only puts on you're important needs

And if anyone tell you you are not important in this church. If anyone

tells you you're not important in this body, you just say, get behind

me, Satan. Do so on put Satan, because only Satan will tell

you that. It's because Satan wants to diminish your value in Satia. But

God has already given you value and self. You may feel that you have

lost the value, so He's here to restore the value you. Sounds a

chat around out. We need the chat to turn to your neighbor on the

left and right, say you're precious and important to face something very very valuable.

I think also, nobody should be passive in this body, so it's

down on me. Every part should be active, contributing to the body.

Just wait, I mean if you sleep here right yeah, you have to

sleep right on or once in every two days hours. It's just anemone.

It's you know that when you sleep, your body is still working inocent.

Do you know what When you're sleeping, bloods are still circulating the hand the

man. You know, when you're sleeping, your heart is still pumping only

the sin. You know, when you're sleeping, your lungs is still expanding

and contracting, expanding and contracting. It on your favorite and in so the

man, what does it tell you? Colssna, Every part in your body

have an active part to play, so you just that isn't it's not a

maga chica the bump. I really like verse eighteen because verse eighteen says,

but now God has set the members, each one of them in the body

jes as he pleased routine the east and the umpire. Oh, I like

this. This is not from the Bible in the sense I'm gonna tells not

from Bible. But it makes sense. Why did God give us two years

and one mouthwa so that he wants us to listen more than we speakman linking

to it? Amen? Amen, Now I say it's not the bigger don't

come up to me after so we showed me the Bible was where they got

So every part that is designed is not by coincidence. So so so so

how do you translate this to church? Right? So there's a moment pat

your place in this body or your place in this church is also not a

coincidence. God has a plan for you as he sets you in the body,

and you need to be faithful to your function. The towns one funk

to the certain our feet is not faithful to its function. You and I

won't be seated here today. Knows it's not faithful to its function. You

and I won't enjoy the amazing duriens we have the piece told me, told

me the poets. So when when Paul was illustrating about this analogy, he's

encouraging the people in Korin to be active in their church life downsimeter, so

you don't tell the b curling migrant the cutting cheetes. And he also encourage

the people that don't combat with each others beat out. Different ones have different

gifts make magrant. But some can do more, some can do less.

It's fine, make one some wholest important positions, some whole lesser position.

It's fine. You shouln't, can have another another way, but everyone must

do its part because the maker cuting cheetes. You know, can you imagine

the brain being jealous of the face to see people can see you, but

people can't see me. I learn contain it can't put the toe now.

The strongest people in the church are often the unseen people. I tell her,

and those children that can't put out. It's not always those on stage.

You you you see them like surveying. Often I have come to see

thirteen thirteen years of running me like thirteen years of running ministry. Often the

most most most faithful one, people that always do things at the background.

Okay, calsonic jams in fools okay, son and told busters that TI sound

food pay. They don't like to be in the limelight, not to say

I like to be in the limelight, not to say the worship leader.

We we are just functioning in our role. But you and I know that

there are people out there who they would rather be backstage than front stage casing

buoso sound pitch out see huns I pay, whoefully tells me that they're just

fiful in their function they colsony just happened, Justice, I hammened the fern

towns on certain right. So every part must does its share in this body,

so maker. In verse eighteen, it says God has set the members,

each one of them in the body just as he pleased. Now the

question is, do you really believe that ex Church is the church for you?

So hold on sounding son, I'm the man. Do you believe that

you are called into this body called X and that God have set you here

for sounding son? Eating that's that you're doing somewhere. It's always tell people,

always tell people X is my first church and will be my last church.

Saved through this church. How many years old? Twenty years old?

No children? Church for nineteen years? Now? How many of you are

nineteen this year? Say wow, sister, the day you were born,

I was born. Also this is reborn, new born in the spirit.

When amen, But I can tell you nineteen years here. Sometimes it's a

sweet pill to swallow because I've seen God moved mightily nineteen years. But it's

also a bitter pill to swallow because growing up. Also there are things that

I was disappointed with, either with people or how things are done. Can't

go and I say, how the search is such in a fun fun right

when things are good, praise a lot. This is a church for me,

mana some certain, It doesn't certain when things are not good? Lord,

is this where you want me to be? Should I venture out somewhere?

Do you dance something? Father? Fast on the tuition? Now?

Just cheating. I honor my relationship with this church. I honor my relationship

with my leaders here. I honor my pastors here. Okay, face if

it's the most because when I asked you the question do you believe you are

called to ask? I am fully convinced that I'm called to be here in

this church that she wasn't in. It's so for sounds needed to pay who's

out in waters deepensating. It's like a one way ticket. You know,

there's no turning back for me. Do you know what one way ticket is?

It's like, let's not back up Lena ma her the if it works,

it works, Google sing the tone to sing the tongue. If it

doesn't work doesn't mean I run away. I must stay to make sure that

it works out. You lose, I know, like she ran the tone.

That's understandment. When Paul wrote all this analogy, what he's trying to

say is that we must value our relationship with one another, and the essence

and the foundation of it must be built by lives like she doesn't bs Ton

fun because it's easy to leave when the going gets tough, when I don't

live even Iris. But it's easy to stay on persevere despite the challenges when

there is love because the time you're Iris, you talking about and you use

so it must be reflective in the way we runch. So outside Thai woman,

she eats. I'm not knocking people who are considering to go to other

churches or people who have left, because it's between them and God. Now

if they hear clearly, like for me, if I hear clearly from God,

I will go right. But if the place there is if God called

me to Singapore, for example, right, and there's an ext church in

Singapore, of course I will go to my home church. Certain I say

linking to a nation, let's say Fiji for example. You don't know where

Fiji is, right, it's below of Australia. I think it's been in

between Australia and New Zealand. So let's say if he calls me to Fiji,

I have to go or eating our way in if it plays in my

heart to plan next, our plan, the next look on I would have

seen downtown she fund excel X to me has become a family. I wouldn't

garranny. I have this conversation with people. Well, what some will say

that you need to be exposed to like she can't. Maybe your season here

is up. You have to enter into a new season with Currently it has

been a suitings, so you need to look see look, see you pology,

you can can can't cant to me. It's very worldly thinking a face

so many of you may not know. I value faithfulness and put it out

so will face and canting. So I hope that my life, by the

grace of God, have embodied that to you. Well you see one and

okay around him and canting? What citizens? And the thing suit Whether you're

there for me or not, you can count that if you need me,

I'll be there for you. Just the book example, she paid, Whether

you turn up late or not for me, you count on me that I'll

be there early for you in the book does it like she paid? Pan?

What is the foundation here? So it's just I I want a church

to come back to the place where we are reminded why we do what we

do woman, because we have to understand that every action in the member of

the body has a consequence on the body, either for good or for bad.

Gonna put your woman city they hold or book ancertizing how the whole twenty

six they absolute, and if one members suffer, all the members suffer with

it, or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice. It

gets the teat so cool. So the teacher eat on so col rod it

get so teach. Any of our members are in trying times, our heart

is with them. So that women down talmon, I think and I say

the soonion as a woman sings, can hamment each either we mean fifty of

us may not turn up, but you can count on us that at least

one leader will be there for you. Currently number because this is how you're

emailing, eating anally when someone graduate, maybe all fifty at least one because

and toy, because this is you're igorant to s. So when one suffers,

the whole body suffers. So tell me certenty so tonkudos that igorants.

So it's a te eating so cool. And when one it's honored, everyone

rejoices together. Yeah, yeah, I don't have you. If you don't

come church today, you will see someone texting you even fast and I tell

her fast packaging are you? If you know me, I will text you

fast in guiney Am I interested in having chest filed? Well, suppose you're

around make it on the maron. No, No, I'm interested in what

happened to you. I was fastness on searching. Don't you wish someone care

enough to ask you where you are? Who is saying your parents, I

wouldn't need hi halma rather than just here. Then nobody cares about me?

Who will if you have not make it ambition to get to know everyone in

this church. Get to know everyone. Tell her tell us yours your soil,

because we are meant to be a body. Certain So when you love

your body, you will make sure every part is taken care of. So

you don't need I need a certaty that's only your chip on me. You

get a certainty. Good? How many of you when you bathe? You

don't bathe certain part of your body? Sty something your bathe everything that you

can find right see so only see don't so to me it's the same.

So it's you see so do you love your body? The church? So

I need a certain money? I need a because the test of a community,

or the test of the church, is her ability to love each other.

You're gonna beats young. And it's not what you can get from this

community, but what you can give to this community. You needn't go don't

Oh, I've seen many people coming to church with various intentions. Okay,

can't okay, cant down, I tell her, so put on the movide.

You know, I was briefing the security team during revel Neek. One

of my first few lines is I told them not everyone who comes to church

are coming for God. No, no, told you know you canna choun

so maker that innocent line told him there's a reason why we need security team.

Another union about Underton doing make sure girls are not harassed by guys.

Mounth fun make sure that guys are don't harassed by girls as well? Yeahsn't

actually, mounth fun. Make sure that our key equipment bags all are taken

care of. Chip O woman woman from experience. We have things missing in

church before, we have girls being haressed before, and all kinds of nonsense.

Right. I want to let you know that the church is not a

perfect place, do you, okay? Colson pintering so fast and call such

cals made the defunt. In fact, they say if you find a perfect

church, don't go, because we will make the church imperfect. Pinpo one

man. I think the famous eventually say this. The church is like a

hospital for all those sick people like me to come. So you, just

like not everyone who comes to church have a pure motive in one thing to

worship God your maker. And you know I went seeing people who want to

push their business like Beau and they come to your cell, group, your

whole, they get to know you. Then they start approaching one one one

one one one. I mean like we welcome there, but do it well

in a sense. Come for God first. Don't come with the motive of

you wanting to self benefit out of this community. It's just almost just like

a muchers on. It's in anti. Remember it's not what you can get

from this community. So just a booster time you need to search. You

can give to this community per search. And don't every part have something to

give? So maytainly the defunct. Even if you feel you have nothing to

give, you actually in truth have something to give. You don't eating you

don't either, so you like to grow further. We must strengthen our community

and everyone must participate. Actually turn someunn to the search in Homan. Don't

at your best capacity, and as God leads you, just the tiny train

the poor ferding she who need consent. There were some people you don't see

them in church serving, but they serve very faithfully in homes. Okay,

can because someone chatting cells faith and things to the fools. So I don't

people to after this message start comparing. I'm doing more, you're doing less.

It's not about that they are just truanchanging a piece of It's about you

asking yourself in this body that God has placed you in. What have you

done so that this body continues to grow and flourish from your participation? Sooner

I won't wanted some more like she ephicient Chapter four Taifusan, in verse one

to six, it says, I, therefore the prisoner of the Lord besies

you to walk worthy of the calling which you were called, with all loneliness

and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing one another in love, enduring to

keep the unity of the spirit in the born of peace. There is one

body and one spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your

calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father

of all, who is above all and true all, and in you all

jails our way to Paichna in stern finds to change. She one road,

and now you're aswing who's young the qui young her pink bas lord silly boutso

surning so suit her away either singer turning to one its easy Eastern and the

food into the name. I love this especially verse two. Now, a

brother recently took on a new job, project management. The singer sings pastor

based on your experience, what should I know about project tatoo one war and

the thing war? Don't see I say project equals to people, so sm

to tourney run. People equals to problem n attorney one te So project equals

to problem run. Now you can see this as a joke, but actually

it's true because when you have projects, projects are man to solve problems that

will add further value to your company, doesn't you Why do I say I

am a problem? I'm a person too, right? Why do I say

I'm a problem, so one tea? Because we are all wired differently paid

personalities are different, the singer preferences are different. Don't see the way we

approach work on method can be different to the funds the tie to so in

the marketplace, some people they will fight with each other. My ways,

just this wine, I can work with this wine concerned, So I don't

put me with this fellow. Don't say class in your group assignment. I

think you already know who you want as your assignment made and who you don't

want cone. I was sharing a joke today, right, You need students

say this, say in my funeral that I'll get all my group mades to

lower down my casket. You continue, yeah, to low down my casket

so that they can let me down for one last time. You're getting job.

It's Hawaii. We can laugh about it because we know it's true.

Either we have disappointed people before, or people have disappointed us before. Either

we never met the expectation of people before, or people didn't mean our expectation

before. These are part and past of life. Doesn't roman you around parents.

You can round parents, bear around. So why I like words too,

Because if we say that we are Christian, we are men to shine

christ lightlinners. This is how we should shine. We should conduct our ways

with all loneliness, meaning in humility, in genderness, not so with one

another. But amost you to the somon fans a change she went rotally.

So the change she went rod, I'm toru young with long suffering night.

If we have to be long suffering, seriously, especially if you have very

short patients like me, basically do your young oh yeah, nice into the

south. Across the years, God has developed my st me enough for being

patient because atonis and the nice thing. It's really by the grace of God,

it's really really by the I used to be very short. One before

I know Christ, well something years so pity and power out. I know,

it's hard to believe. She before I knew Christ, was eleven years

old. Just because my mom was laid, I cursed. I showed her

some things that I shouldn't show. You know, your mama when nineteen years

old she was late also, you know, half an hour journey from the

car. I was screaming at her everything that was me past life before Christ.

Okay, calnic was so this is just in Sulabanga I received. Okay,

I share you another one. When I was I was actually a hate

prefect. When I was from do in a boys' school. Was I Italian?

Perfect? Perfect? So I remember one day my assistant came in late.

I stripped him of his dignity. Without realizing, I shouted at him.

I scold him in front of all the juniors. He cried, you

know, and we never really patched up a relationship after that. Had you

lied? So? Had you? That means to give you a taste of

my life. Which I wasn't proud of. Right, but when I received

Christ, when Christ came into my heart. Right, all these leaders can

testify. Okay, all the leaders, they can testify. It's very difficult

for me to be very angry and very diff or them to just how much

you have disappointed me, or no matter how much you have you didn't meet

my expectations. You will never see me screaming at you. You'll never see

me harassing you. You never see me sending nasty messages to you. Tomney,

She money has to dance on the home journey? Is the anger me?

There is some of the Holy Spirit has given me the grace to manage

that anger. Want to scathing like she found from slamming room door, to

slowly close the room door, just the assment. Not happy you slam your

office door so that your stuff will find out that? What's his angry?

What's this angry? Don't I see the happy with your housemaid slammed the door.

Hey, so and so, it's not happy. Don't don't disturb book.

I was here to the housemate. Have to text another friend a house

The weather today, that's a cooler weather meaning stormy means rons and it's not

in a very good mood. Sunny means his Joe will they just so you

would also ordinate at rules. Just now, why do I share this?

So it is my ways? I said that X will be my first church

and will be my last church. So I your way, sou susage you

are again. If people want to leave, they are free to live as

God leads them. Okay, okay, high, but don't leave carrying a

baggageerly tights. Some high horses don't live carrying offenses. Not funny the who

don't live Just because you had a conflict with another leader, you will run

her the ten thousands. I have reflected this a lot in my nineteen years

working with a lot. How fun because I've seen people come and go.

You cannot rely on some for a very good reason. You're in some for

reasons like if we say that God is great, we say that God is

the master of reconciliation, then when we have conflict with one another, shouldn't

we be christ Like in demonstrating that our God is able to heal our pain,

our God is able to heal our heart? And then we made it

woman? Okay, it's a woman some high around and like she her how

considering somehow omon you put in garage, it's how young you surround her?

Because when I read these verse it says it's long suffering bearing with one another

in what in love? It's even are your eyes seeing who's younger quant room

bearing one another in love? Just a young eye like you? Whose young

quan roam. Do you know that a lot of people outside of church have

never really tasted what true love is? It's not like so much turns to

the eye because we live in a broken world, a post to the We

live in a world where a lot of boys are not growing up having a

fatherly figure in the house, you know, Hamanta turns run. The eager

females growing up also not having a role model in debt, just the meal

footing the young. More and more men are failing the family told you are

your daughter nan and Haamusan's like she muica me. I'm saying this as a

matter of fact. Well, like, that's why we all need Jesus.

Only he can give us the grace. Only he can give us the wisdom.

It's to lead like she tiling. So we who have tested God's love,

we must share it. So amazing question the idolho you put your friends,

you know you guys. Notice I lost my dad when I was twenty

years old, also entering into early adulthood. So I'm happy that I had

twenty years with my dad. No in the park. Yeah, but somehow

right those of you who are in my shoes, so you will know that

as you grow older and older, you wish you can have a wisdom of

the Father to guide you in certain areas of life that you can glean from

their wisdom. Okay, foot in the town you mean to in the way

life? See that. What do you think about this job? That if

you were in my position back then, how was it? Blah blah blah.

A lot of wisdom you can glean from their life a jot. But

the Lord had taught me that in as much as he has sent mentors and

good people around me, and I know I can have easy access to any

leaders that I need counsel open up my life. They will counsel me.

I can glean from their wisdom. But the Lord had taught me also to

say that I am your heavenly father, I can give you the wisdom downsld

t Son the food chain, so we'll create any because in the spirit.

You and I we are not. Often Anna says that Christ has redeemed us

now we are joined airs with him. So my woman suit, So back

to this whole thing about love, I would on behalf of this church,

say that forgive us if we haven't loved you like how Christ would have left

you. I need woman, forgive us if we have fallen shot of your

expectations. You're going to our best around. You're a young woman. But

the question that you should also ask yourself is how have you demonstrated christ love

in and through this church down to I? So what is church? In

the original meaning is called ecclesia in Greek? Right, so you tell you

don't you know? Just clia. So there are two words here meaning out

of and kllio, meaning to call out of hall. Therefore ecclesia can be

understood as called out of being in an exembly, so it tays in the

morningment it tis his title who was. So the church is basically exemply a

gathering of people where from a Monday to Saturday, we were all out in

the world, all trying our best to win our friends to Christ, to

win our family to Christ, to shine in places where it is dark.

But when there is an example, we are called out to come back together.

Down down woman who's out. So essentially a church is a community.

So searching you know, Pa can our foundings in the past. Posted this

recently and I thought it was really good. Say I need to share your

code like you furnished. So he says this right. When people tell you

they don't feel the community where they are, ask them how committed they are

to that community to see the search and run her wan taman so taman searching

town. If they're honest, they'll admit that they are not so Committednce home

wate and the community doesn't happen without commitment. You in way may run her

the ways and does run the tan. You and feelings alone without faithfulness will

never suffice to seal a relationship. You on a guancy. You know,

we live in a generation where we are now very in tuned with feelings.

After feelings you go to anywhere, you go to a church, you say,

oh, if I feel the wipe, then this place is for me.

No dense defounces of wars sod. You know, if I feel certain

things that clicks with my spirit, then is for me you war so hot.

Just a matter of caution to all of us. If you build anything

by feeling, even not less so, Okay, Calson, it just pins

out, pink cow, can't you can test this. You build your career

on feeling, let me tell you it won't last. Okay, cals you,

Pinkhanna contin you build your family by feeling? It wasn't less exactly,

it's a pink, more and more diverse rate. You are your cow because

the bill on feelings it is pink. Didn't leader. When the couple begin

to face real challenges in their marriage, Haman, the honey down on a

whole, no longer feel the love anymore either a hole. It's easy to

give up. It's easy to walk out. Hi. You build anything by

faithfulness, it will last since certainly so your suit in towns on part to

her faithfulness. It's such a rare characteristics this day, even in the marketplace

drama seeing so sooner put on some sing singlecting. In this many years,

I probably would have glanced through close to a thousand resumes. Okay, change

the lily right, probably close to ten years of hiring stuff. Can't go

down to your your painting put on the I'm not sure how recruited does it.

I can tell you if you're looking for a job, I glanced through

resume in less than thirty second. I'll make my decision whether I will shortleash

you or not. Okaye seconds as all she can't painting int so one thing

that I filtered out, So you go wait, Actually, Sands, I

look at all the years of working experience. Well we can't have come to

the thing. And why if there's a of jumping and put on the go

six months you change your job, one year, you change your job,

three months, you change your job, one year, you change your job

to three months, you won't make it into my filter. Console you This

may sound harsh, right her tank cool, but it reveals something so attaches

society townsing is sing. If you can't be faithful in your previous role for

at least a minimum of two to three years, what makes you think you

can be faithful to the role I'm intrusting to you the console? It seems

I consoles in the console mono. So faithfulness it's very important if you want

to build a community. So it seems searching. What is faithfulness if you

don't show up for me. I will still show up for you. Just

thing sooner, just you're going to That's faithfulness Hebrews ten twenty five. So

simple, let us hold fast the confession of our whole without wavering, for

he who promises faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir

up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as

is the man of some, but exhalting one another. And so much the

more as you see the day approaching, Yeah, I think so women,

one woman's sing, so the ure sofa, I see mining things, a

wanderin. We believe in the coming together like this physically in a church.

Hums sound thing that it is thirty like that. You can't really build community

online. You can't really do church online. You say something saying something way,

but it's sad to see more more Christians are beginning to take the online

approach because something that don't see that juice seeing some like she things. Because

you can never know how deep is your love for one another until you're being

tested here deepens consonanting, honey, you put on an You won't really know

how deep your love is for God until you are tested here, honey,

puts on. If I asked everyone here and gre myself, do we love

God? We always say yes, we love God immensity. We won't want

to don't know son Ian. But when we ask the question will you show

up for God? How many will show uniuation about you? Univation? Ali.

you to cont you to be in this community and cont you to advance the

community downs only Bran, down town the whole like she tan you fun Coloss

That means amonishments, warn one another't mean to make sure that we finished

well in our faith, so that if I am out of line, I

wish someone would tell me to get in line. If I know that I'm

doing something ungodly, my lifestyle is not God glorifying. I wish someone would

tell me that pieces eating and who well, just see what you'ldren like she's
