THE ESSENCE OF THE CHURCH

in #sc-v6 years ago (edited)

WELCOME TO THE BLOG OF STEEMCHURCH VENEZUELA@sc-v

The essence of the church is shown in the way that God faced the different obstacles that would halt the work. When confronting each one of these situations the idea that the essence of the church was, is and will be to speak the gospel, announce, preach initiating in our place and reaching the ends of the earth.

Example 1:

Obstacle of the church: Focus on itself.
Solution: Be witnesses.
When in Acts 1.7 the disciples want to focus on themselves When will you restore the kingdom? Jesus refocuses them on verse 8 by showing them that their true task is to be witnesses. People who talk about what they saw. Speak what we know. When the church focuses on itself it loses the correct focus that Jesus placed on it.

Example 2:

Obstacle of the church: Staying contemplating Jesus.
Solution: Deliver us to the task that you entrusted us until you come.
When they look at the sky, the angels asked them, Why do you look at the sky? and remind them that Jesus will return. His return implies returning to face Him and responding to the task assigned to us. Therefore there are moments to contemplate and moments where you have to stop contemplating and working. In other words, do what the person we contemplate with such devotion sent us. If contemplation (in these times united with adoration) does not become action and obedience, we must doubt that adoration.
True worship (as Jesus worshiped his father) is obedience to what the Father commanded us to do under the platform, not to get on a platform to sing and make music. Care.

Example3:

Obstacle of the church: It does not extend to the places where Jesus sent it. (Acts 1.8)
Solution: use of harder means for the church to move.
Acts 8.1 demonstrates that the church did not follow the strategy Jesus indicated in Acts 1.8, so God makes sure that the church moves through the persecution and goes exactly where it should go voluntarily.
God displayed this movement with the essential characteristic of the church, verse 4 indicates that "those who were scattered went everywhere announcing the gospel"
This shows that God will use all possible means and is willing to lead the church to carry out the strategy of reaching nearby communities, far away and to the end of the earth as it is. Do not wait for God to move you by force because it will be painful, move voluntarily to take your church to plant churches and send missionaries.

Conclusion: We see that when faced with three different obstacles the focus towards which God is responsible for orienting us is to prioritize the task of evangelization as the driving force of the rest of the church's tasks. This emphasis comes directly from the heart of God, which beats for people who are lost. The heart of the church should beat like the heart of God.
Make plans to execute the task of personal evangelization weekly in your church. If you need help, call us, but do not stop. He awaits you. Do not let the obstacles stop what God wants most. May they all be saved and that their church in essence be what He dreamed, a group of men and women who "beat the gates of hell" because these according to their promise "will not prevail against it."

General Vision: To promote the spiritual, intellectual, economic and social progress of evangelical Christian Ministers and their families, to be a Christian community that lives in conformity with the character, teaching and model of life of Jesus Christ and whose actions produce an integral transformation in all person, group, community and sphere of society at a local, national and global level, using all the tools in favor of humanity, whether technological, such as blockchain, social networks, and everything that could impact the world, making the light of Jesus shines in every people, race and nation, carrying the banner of freedom and love "

WE WILL REACH CROWS IN THE CRUSADE OF FREEDOM.

SteemChurch Telos Expansion: your NEW SteemChurch Telos account

The SteemChurch Telos expansion is about establishing ourselves on a new platform capable of facilitating trade, banking, commerce and logistics - opening up many more opportunities than social media and blogs.

Telos is one of the most advanced blockchains on the planet. Incredibly fast and highly scalable. Built from the same blockchain architecture as EOS, Telos can do everything EOS can do. At the moment, however, Telos is relatively unknown and resources are cheap. Which means that we are establishing here at an ideal time.

For the first access to your account we recommend that you download SQRL to your PC.

Deep teachings. Thank you @Darlenys01

Clear and precise message, If Jesus does not build the house in vain those who live in it work...

God's message to humanity is eternal and invariable. As our Maker, he has always emphasized the importance of having a relationship with him. To Abraham he said: "And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and your descendants after you" (Genesis 17: 7). Years later he said almost the same to the people of Israel (Deuteronomy 29:13).
The expression Kingdom of God implies much more than the administration of Jesus Christ of the just laws of God throughout the world. It also applies to the children of God himself, who has revealed that the members of that family, which he is currently creating, are his sons and daughters and that, together with Jesus Christ, they will administer their laws over the nations.

The gospel is the story of how God is creating his family by first calling a small group that, like a grain of mustard, will grow until the earth is full of the children of God.

Excellent message @darlenys01, If Jehovah does not build the house, those who build it work in vain. It is motivating to know that it enables us to train others in the way of the gospel and that is the goal that will lead us to sow their word in order to consolidate the love of God in all the families of the earth.
