The unity provided to the Church by Christ brings God glory. As such, it must be preserved. Thus, God calls us to walk worthy, putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. Unity is preserved by putting on the righteousness of Christ as we put off the old life.
God’s plan to save the Gentiles along with the Jews in Christ was in place all along. It was a mystery in that it was only partially known in the Old Testament. Ephesians 3 provides a clear explanation of how God has brought this plan to fruition. Pastor Daniel walks us through Ephesians 3.
Church membership is an often misunderstood concept. In the early church, you were baptized into the church that would be your church home until death, Christ’s return, or until you were sent out to plant another house church. Church was then and is now supposed to be a family, a unified body, a citizenship, a temple. Now, people treat churches like retail shops, consuming a little bit from each one, seldom seeing any one church as a family to commit to. Since Jesus has given us commands as a church, and elders/overseeing have been charged by God to shepherd the church which Christ bought with HIs own blood, it is essential that we communicate what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ as a whole, part of this church specifically, and what that means as we commit to one another. In this Sermon, Pastor Dan talks about membership and asks everyone to pray about formally committing as members.
