so in Christ we who are many form one body,
and each member belongs to all the others. (Romans 12:5 NIV)
Day 1
-
When a church allows God's presence and
activity to be expressed, a watching world will be drawn to Him.
-
A church is a living body of Christ with
many members.
-
A church is on mission with Christ in our
world carrying out the Father's redemptive purpose.
-
God wants His people to be holy and pure.
-
God wants His people to display unity.
-
God wants His people to love each other.
-
No one individual has the total vision for
God's will for a local church.
-
A church needs to hear the whole counsel
of God through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.
-
Sharing what God is doing in my life may
help someone else encounter God in a meaningful way.
Day 2
-
A church comes to know the will of God
when the whole body comes to understand what Christ--the Head--is telling
them.
-
Every believer has direct access to God.
-
Individual opinions are not that
important. The will of God is very important.
-
A church must learn to function as a body
with Christ as the Head of His church.
-
A church must wait until God's time.
Day 3
-
The Holy Spirit is the Gift.
-
The Spirit of God always is present to
equip me to carry out a divine assignment.
-
A spiritual gift is a manifestation of the
Holy Spirit at work in and through a person's life for the common good of
the body of Christ.
-
The Spirit decides who to give assignments
to, and enables spiritual leaders and members to accomplish His work.
-
God puts spiritual leaders and members in
the body where He wants them to be.
-
The body is not complete without all the
spiritual leaders and members God has given the body.
-
Members of the body should have equal
concern for each other.
-
Spiritual leaders and members of the body
have different assignments from God for the good of the whole body.
Day 4
-
Jesus is Head of the body.
-
God is very concerned about the body
maintaining unity.
-
God-like love ought to prevail in the
body.
-
God decides where I ought to function in
the body.
-
I understand the will of God for my church
when I listen to the whole body express what they are experiencing in the
life of that body.
-
Each member is precious to God.
Day 5
-
Right relationships with God are far more
important than buildings, budgets, programs, methods, church personnel,
size, or anything else.
-
God doesn't add members to the body
accidentally.
-
God builds the body to match the
assignment.
-
God builds the body, gives it an
assignment, and equips the body to carry out the assignment.
-
I will pay close attention to the people
God adds to my church.
