to do this in absential, in his absential. So what
we're doing, what we're looking at, we're looking at you
(00:21):
and the church, You and the what and the church.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's the series we're looking at.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And you and the church means that there's a relationship
within you and the church, isn't it. There's a relationship.
There's a relationship between you and who and the church.
And if there's a relationship between you and the church,
it means that the you that we are talking about
(00:53):
is a what is a believer? The you that we're
talking about is what is believer. So let's start from there.
The you we are talking about is what is a
believer and is relating to what to the church. So
the church is relating to you, which is what a believer.
So we are in a believers meeting this very morning?
(01:16):
Are we together? We're any believers meeting this very morning.
So if you've not given your life to Christ, if
you've not accepted his love and his works for you,
it is a good moment for you to accept him.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Have more and receive you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Because what we'll be talking about is about those who
are in what in the church.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So this is a believer's meeting. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So the topic before us is your place in the
body of Christ.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So the series is you and the church.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But the topic before us is your place in the
body of Christ or your place in Hilo.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So let's look at the church. Let's go back to
you and the church.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let's tackle that before we go to your place in
the body of Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So what's the church? What is the church? So a
church is a Christian physical house of worship.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So the dictionary defines the church as a Christian physical
house of worship or a building where Christian religious services
take place.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So a church is this physical building we can see.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So let's start from the noon to the words to
the unknown away together. Let's start from what we can
relate with what we can see. So this building that
we're looking at, that we're inside, like this is what
is called the church is what we can call what
the church.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So now let's move forward.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In that definition, it says a Christian isn't it a
Christian physical house? So from that Christian let's go down
a bit. So the church is also a group of
Christian individuals who worship together. The church is what a
group of Christian individuals who worship what together. So the
(03:19):
first definition you can find it in Act to forty six.
You can just write that down. We talked about the
church as a physical building. So the second definition we
can look at it from Acts.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, the cell.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Is not like that is why your sister somebody, we
can grow what's big.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So if a church, then we can work, we can
move forward.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So that definition is that a church is someone who
has made himself worth the temple of what the only goes.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Because you've been bought with a price.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You are not yours, you're not yourself, you're not your word, yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You've been bought with a price. So now we've defined
the church. But now.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Just like I started, we said, you and the church,
we cannot define you. In my book, I just wrote
to you, and I wrote a Christian mark because you
have to be the.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
One to define you. I cannot define you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Even myself cannot define myself entirely in the God moves us.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So now I was where the Bibles was speaking.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It says everything is laid bre before him, because he
judged the content and the intent of our hearts. Are
we together he drodge the words, the content and the
intent of our hearts. So it is only him that
can make you know you better because in him we leave.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We move, and what have our words? Our being?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So if you don't know him, how can you know you?
And then what's function in the church? So it is
taking us back towards to the cross. When we don't
know him, we can't know us or we can't know ourselves,
(05:21):
and then we cannot function effectively what's in the church?
For some time now, that is what we've been having
with the youth. Come, let us reason together, what is
the reason? What is the issue? Why can't we be
what's be dedicated?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
When you go back.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And find out that your life is is not sing
your righteousness is as what is as fauty rang, then
you begin to look for the righteousness that is worth,
that is glorious, and that's one it's not found who
it is founding in Christ Jesus. And when you are
able to find that, that is why you can be
(06:06):
able to function what in the church. That is why
I said this meeting is for believers.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This meeting is what is for believers.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And I believe that throughout the year we've been doing
a lot about servation and all of that.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I want to believe that all of us in
here are what our believers. So it depends on you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You need to define yourself and how can you define yourself?
You need to go back to so Christ. So now
we have our texts. I know I've not read from
our text. I needed to lead this foundation. Our text
is taken from Corinthians First Corinthians, Chapter twelve, from verse.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Twelve to twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But before we read it, we need to still have
another backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Away Together were.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Seemed to have a story of who these people are
and why this chapter twelve was written to what to them?
So now apposed to Paul was writing to whom. He
was writing to the Corinthian church. This was his first
letter to the Karnthian Church.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And he was writing this because he had a report.
I was a report.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The report was because there was what division in the church.
People were, what were misbehaving?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Door?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
There were Christians away together, door, there were Christians. The
ac called upon the name of the Lord with a
pure heart. There were ste what mis behaving? So now
are they doing or were they're doing? So in first
(08:00):
crunchines three one to four we see that Paul called
them whats canal Christians bibes in Christ. You can just
check that quickly, Projector went, where's ncience? Come on projects first?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You just be projecting, will not be reading it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yes, So first clunchers three one to words one to four,
we saw that Apo called them words carnal Christians. He
called them whats can now Christians, don't they were Christians.
There were words still canna. We called them bibes in
What's in Christ? He called them what bibes in Christ?
(08:49):
And why was that? Because Paul had done his ministry
with them, and now Appollos went to don't do.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Ministry with them? And there was divisions. This one said me.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And for this pastor digital person saying may I'm for
this reference, may I'm saying for and for Apollos the
on a person say and for what and for Paul?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So there was what there was division. And I want
to believe our.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Our Bible reading that was taken in Acts Acts fifteen
was giving us a needs of the back story. I
want to believe that Apollos was what ate you, and
he came to talk to them about circumcision. Yes, he
came to talk to them about circumcision. Was telling them, no,
(09:39):
we don't have to go down the rounds. What God
is saving is your what is your spirits and your soul.
It's not saving your wor your flesh, because your flesh
with perish here and need to decay.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It isn't it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So what he was trying to bring to them was
that you people are fighting over what is using less,
just the way children will be fighting over maybe spoon,
for example, They will fight over spoon, cry, and finally
they will drop that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Spoon and go their way. Have you seen such things? Amen? Amen,
let's let's talk. Have we seen such things?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Children will fight over spoon, maybe for spoon, maybe sleepers.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They will fight, fight, fright, fights, cry, and before you.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Made they will drop it and everybody will go and
you'll be like Ozana, what was causing contention among them?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Osannah?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
What's worth crossing? Fights amongst them? But they've dropped it
the doll who know where the sleepers will be in
the next one hour, the next five days. They've dropped it.
And they've moved on with their lives.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
So that was the same thing that was happening towards
the Corinthian Church, and he was telling them, you believe
in like boops, so let's continue.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And our complain was that there was sexual words immorality
amongst them, first Coarentians five one to two.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Certainly that one even slept with his father's wife. It
was that band are we together?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And our complain was that there were court cases first
Criarenters six one to two. There were court cases. We
had land issues and we took it to the judge
who was an what an unbeliever to judge between the
both of us, us that are called ourselves what Christians?
We cannot come to a fine agreement amongst us.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You took it to what to the courts.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm not saying that if you have a reason to
go to courts you should not go more. I'm trying
to say that can you find another means? Can you
find another way to resolve it? Just like Jesus was speaking,
he says, if someone is taking you to the courts,
be his friend on the way to the courts, try
to resolve it, because by the time.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You go there it is time too. They will ask
of you, you will pay layers.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You pay this one, you pay that one, isn't it
you pay a lot and at the end maybe you
now lose the case. Then I asked you to pay fine.
On topic again, I wish together. So this were the
issues that they were having.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
So a lot of them were.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Also having what they were having a struggle with what
godly marriage. They didn't understand how godly marriage should be.
That's the seven chapter seven once and three and chapter
eight once or two. There were some that were partaking
in what in easing things that were offered to what
to IDUs.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They were eating things that were offered to do to IDUs.
So they had.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Understanding that if I eat it, there's nothing wrong that
will happen to me because I now understanding, I have
an understanding that what I am not.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
In Christ, I am a new creation all things that
are passed away.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But for others that do not, it's to make them
to stumble and need to make them to go back
and start doing all these festivals, all these ideal worshiping
because they feel like it's a normach into what to
eat it, But somebody is eating it out of knowledge.
Another person is eating it out of what ignorance? So
(13:26):
you're telling them that don't okay. So now this church
was in Christ, but the was they lacked their identity.
They were having what identity crisis? They were having? What
identity crisis? This wan I say, I'm from this one.
This wanta says this one.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I am doing this one.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm doing the one, all to the accent that when
they come for love feasts, sorry no love the Lord's Supper.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Somebody will go hidiankity food and eat a man. Maybe
that was right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They started making the bread very small. Maybe it was
because of this church. Amen, he didn't get my joke.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Let's continue.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So some people who are going to hijack the food,
and I'm going it's I'm going it's up to the
support to them that before you come for low supper,
better it's in your house. Don't come ba finish our
food here. Don't come and finish better it's in your house.
Because some people want we hijack the food and going
(14:29):
to eat and others to not get food.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
For low supper. So that was why we maybe we
began to make the bread very small.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The copner became small, so that you know, even if
you take double rational, you know, do you amen?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So this was what was what's happening?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And they had what an identity was crisis up to
the extent that in First Corinthians in love in this one,
what did Possy Persey imitates me as I imitate Christ.
So if you you do not have a map a bearing,
if you don't have an image to follow, follow me
(15:06):
as I watched, follow Christ. If you cannot read the
word for yourself and follow Christ, just follow all the
trees I did when I was with you, Just do it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
This that way. And that is a call for leaders.
That's the call for what for leaders?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That you can exemplify your life to an extent that
you can tell somebody that Mama follow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You as I watch full of Christ. You can tell
someone who is younger than you follow you what you
see me do? Just do it like copy copyists you
pass you weren't heavy. That statement is a very burroom.
We need to think about it. It's a very profound
(15:57):
word statement. Can somebody copy our lives word for word?
Unlock it?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Or would somebody say ah, because I copied his life.
That is why I couldn't look it. That is why
this message is what is a believer? That's what needs
you and the Word and the church. It is all
that when we follow your life, we can't view the church.
(16:30):
When I follow my life.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I can't build the Word a church. All the thing
is that you show me did you heard from you?
So that possible? Speaking to the moody says all that
you read me see says what?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Pass it on to others, pass it on to others,
pass it on to other young men, pass it to
what to other young mens. So because of the identity christis,
will happened poor how to recommend that they follow him
as he as he follow Christ? So in the day
(17:14):
that the person stop following Christ, don't follow him.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So let's bring a balance to that. So the condition
is that you follow me as I follow what Christ.
That's the condition. Let's continue. So now, due to all
of this division, something that happened in chapter twelve away
(17:38):
together something that happened in chapter twelve. So in chapter twelve,
Paul was not telling them that brilliant, I do not
want you to be unaware of the spiritual gifts. I
do not want you to be ignorant about what these
spiritual gifts, because it can come to an extent that
(18:00):
God will last I giving you people spirit try gifts
and this church will never recover him. Not this church, sorry,
but the Crenian Church. That was what Apple suppose trying
to talk to them about.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's so what was he trying to say. Let's that's
really quick, one says.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Verse one says, now, first Chritians to a vest One says, now,
brother and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts.
Remember the Okay, let's just move on. There's four things.
There are different kinds of spirit trug gift, but they're
all from the same spirit. There are different ways to serve,
(18:46):
but serve the same Lord, the six and they are
different ways that God works in people, but it is
the same God.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Who works in all of us to do what to
do everything.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So now I was telling them that see, you can
now begin to have what spiritual gift sings. And in
this spiritual gifting.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
What would mostly happen is that everybody will go to
form a clique. Everybody will form a clique and they
will leave the words the church a wing together.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So people that can speak in don't they will? God say, Ah,
these people they cannot speak in tomb. They're very un spiritual.
Let's go on our own church. That's why I said
our own words, our own church. Let's call it speaking.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
His ministry starts people that can see that the Lord
has opened their eyes to see. They will go open
because of what.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Because they've been division rights from what right from time.
So because they've been divisional right from time, it would
be easy. It would be easy to divide now because
I now have my words, my gifts, I can now move.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm gonna build my own church.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Somebody asked the question doing Sunday school and said, what
if somebody had the dream and the parents mistook it
for something else, and and they're now they don't believe
the person and all of that. In my heart, my
heart of heart, I answered this. But in my heart
of hearts, one of the reasons is because we do
(20:26):
not have this diverse gift in the church anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Are we together? We do not.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Encourage these diverse gifts anymore. And not because we do
not encourage it per se, but because we have not
been disciple.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Towards to that level. Are we together?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It is because we've not been disciple toward to that
level that you begin to work to be. You begin
to yeld for a spiritual gifts. You don't stop us
coming into.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Christ and giving your life to Christ, and you stop them.
You begin to yend forward for spiritual gifts such that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yes, I don't have money, civil and good I don't have,
but we can see in blind om and saying, receive.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Your sights, and it is words.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It is a place of what discipleship that we can
come into that word, that reality. So the apostles were
worth were all known men, we're no more people. There
were words learned men, no more people. But because they
stayed with Jesus, all happened to them. They were what
(21:50):
they were transformed, such that God handed over his ministry
on earth to them.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Hm He undered words over his ministry towards to them
on it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And there was men lacking signs and words and wonders,
suchly that the aprons handkerchief of these men were healing people.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Those are words, signs and wonders, and those were what
gifts to serve the church. Those were gifts towards to
serve the word the church. So he came as a gift,
just that this man were a.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Drunkard, but he began to speak to them and their
their trunks began.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Towards to speak in their dinods, and that was what
the supernatural.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And it was easy for them towards to have three
thousand added to the church. Three thousand homnicroseds can add
three thousands to the church. Amniculus and holy services can
add three thousands to the church. So it is because
(23:08):
of that gifting and for the apostles, they used it to.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What to build the church. But it was warning the
Corinthian Church that if these same.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Gifts come upon you, you just gattered this church, because
everybody will go on, they're gonna start doing what's branding.
There's something called branding. Right now, you brand yourself as
a seer. You now have a social media page, you
now have this one, you have this one. You're now
a church on your own. But instead what should have
(23:40):
happened is that you're going to meet your pastor. I
can now see you, and the pastor will I welcome you. Okay,
let's see how we can build most years. Okay, somebody
is two three, Let's say how we can encourage that
person somebody has a world of words of encourage in
(24:00):
that person.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Encourage you no you don't have money in your account,
Encouragement that we come for you. It is as if
you want to go have a house in what's in
the wan.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
That is what encouragement. Not everybody has that, but there
are some people that has that spirit of leadership. I
think one of the speakers doing the Uts and Race
Congress instead, he started his companion what's in his house,
started his company in his house, and right now it's
flying over the world. Imagine that kind of person is
(24:37):
in a church like this and it's a mean, let's
do something. Let's build instead of you leave in the church,
I'm going to start something and nest build the church
and we together. So now knows what he was trying
to work to find and that was and that brought
us towards to this tolve. So let's read the stuff
(25:03):
to twenty seven God the whole time, taking time, but.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Let's say how we can go through first with this.
A person.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes okay,
yes they are many parts, but all those parts are
still just one body. Christ is like that too, you man,
cause I worry for me using a different vation from
what I studied. Okay, okay, thank you, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
So so is christ h kay.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is therefore not of the body. If the old body
were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the
old body were hearing, where would be or where would
be the smelling? But now God has said the members,
each one of them, and the body just as he pleased.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And if they were all one member, where would the
body be? World ver's no.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Verse trengthy okay, But now indeed there are many members
yet one body, and the I cannot say to the hand,
I have no need of you none.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Again, they add to the feet, I have no need
of you no much. Rather, those members of the body
which seems to be.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Weaker and necessary, and those members of the body which
are which we think to be less honorable. Of this
would be still great honor and a place. Our own
presentable part have great modesty. But our presentable parts have
no need. But God composed the body. I've been given
(27:45):
greater honor to that part which lets it verse twenty
five that there should be no ski zame of the body,
but that the member should have the same case for
one another.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Vers.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Twin to six, and if one members soffer, all the
members sofare with it, or if one member is honorable,
all the members rejoices, rejoice with it.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Vers.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Sins, all of you together and the body of Christ.
Each one of you is a part of that world
of the building.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So now.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
This part of the bangle was trying to explain the
body of Christ using us, okay, and using our physical
body to explain it.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, now it does not explain it. It does. It
does explain it well. But here's it's in.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Unlike our physical body that is very much connect, are
we together all like our finished physical body that is
very not connected.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The way it is with us is that we can
decide to die and relieve together.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
We can decide today and say I don't want to
be part of this body, and somebody else will take
your parts. So unlike our physical body that we cannot
just easily cut the finger and will feel the pin definitely,
just like the will. If one of us leaves the
body of Christ, there's what there's a grief, there's like
(29:35):
Heaven rejoices over one.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
So that is what is saved. So that means if
a soul is lost, there will be what there will
be learning are we together?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
So now, just like if we cut our finger, there
will be what there will be pin And that is
how it is when we leave, say I don't live now,
not to concern me with them again, isn't it that
is in the picture.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But because Christ is.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The word, is the head. And when you feel pain,
you feel it way in your head. There's that pain,
that sharpening that comes to your word, to your head.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And we're together. So now we are not trying to
explain our body or the body of Christ, just the
way our what our body is.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We're trying to explain the body of Christ just the
way our body is. And now we want to look
at your place in the body of what of Christ?
What is your place in the body of Christ? For
you you might think that you're not important, and for
you you think that you're the most importance. But what
(30:45):
has Christ toldos this money truth world?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He said, even that part that seems only important, it
is giving what Haney, It is what is giving what's harmed.
And it is that part again that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You say, and.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I want to be eyeing everybody wants to be Eye
because I do want.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
The ice now, so I want to be I. Everybody
wants to be here, and that is what that's worth.
That will not do us work, that will not do
us good. When everybody wants to be eye, everybody wants
to be worth's here. But instead if you think that
your old parts is.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That small parts and there's no health, no, no, what
is God telling.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Of this morning that you will bring what who needs
to eat? You bring what who not to eat? And
just like let's look back to and the virus and
all of this. Yes, immune system, how do you think
(31:50):
the immune system is being beautiful?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It is when we come in contact with the words
with gems.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
So in as much as we think that germs and
not necessary, it is also what's necessary to vi our
what our immune system.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
So by wrapping up, I.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Want us to come to the place of where we
locate our position, what's in Christ?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Our what our place in what in Christ?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And I've said that if you do not know you,
you will not be able to understand your position in
what in Christ. So for you to know and take
your position in the body of Christ, which is shed,
will stress answered the question who are you in Jesus Christ.
Who are you and what in Jesus Christ? So we
(32:43):
looked at Jeremiah today says what you are prophets. In
Psam's Oneted to Mine, it says you are fearfully and
wonderfully what we need. In John chapter one, verse twelve,
it says you are the son of what of God?
In First Grit, Un six nineteen to twelve says you
are the temple of the Word.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
The Holy Gos. You have been more bought with the praise.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Second puter to verse nine says your words a choosing generation. So,
as believers, if all of these things have been said
concerning us and we still do not know our identity
we are in Christ, then there's an issue because when
you know yourself in Christ, then you can be able
to work to function in Christ. So you need to
(33:29):
know it and you need to work believe it. You
need to know your identity, you need to work to
believe it. So how can you also re locate to
your place in Christ. You need to work fellowship with
the Holy Spirit. You need to study, you need to pray, okay,
you need to meditate on God's world. You need to
(33:49):
long for it, passion you need to learn for what
for it?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's Zeo. You need to have passion for it. That's
zer You need to work, have passion for it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You need to live in what in obedience, serving in
what in the body of Christ, serving in Hilu the willing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It would not be that we need to preach to
you all.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
We need who recites Genesis to revelation to you before
you now say okay and we'll do it. That is
you agreeing to do it, and now the day for
you to do it. We want see you need to
know that we are in important as we're not here.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You imagine I was. You are here.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You think I will be able to communicate like this,
you know, but because we have evils to you and
that's what to listen, that's why I'm here. So please, please,
and please, let's take it to that that we are
important and we have a role to play in what
in the body of Christ. And it's only believers that
can do what play that's what play that role. So
(34:52):
I want us to know that we've been brought with
a word in price. Your life is not your own. Amen,
You've been brought with a price. Your life is what
is not your own.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And therefore you have towards glorify whats God. So how
much more can you glorify God if it is not
for you to want to serve Him.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And to do what good works. So in conclusion, it
is our service in ing that we all post what
identify and will place in will.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
For some of us, we wanted to come revelation like this. Okay,
you're supposed to be in the ocean department. That is
where you are. That's your gift or that that's your gift,
is supposed to be pression. But the truth is that
you have towards starts.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
It small, precept upon what precept, lines upon lines you
need to work. Start small one, start with the ocean departments.
If you are not to show h starts that's.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
What that is what service.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And in a little way you see that God will
begin to open your heart to all that things. Starting
the music department before you leave, something is drawing you
toward today Sonday school. Starting this on the school before
you know, something is drawing you. In the pyramids, youth,
we need involunteers in the pyramids.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
And also in the Soudi school department. So opinions, you
know this very morning. Please let's draw this and this
this department is the church, and so we can bring
about what good in the body of Christ.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So I plied with us. Service is open service that
we begin to know on our place. It is what
true service will begin to know our place in Christ
Jesus for muses he wanted to nod it over you happen,
he said, who made you runia over us? So he
(37:03):
had to go back and tend to ships, tend to
flox for over another how many years of his life
before when we were king, he was now recognized as
what as a leader? So please, it is true service
that no applas the consumation. So when he gave it
is one of them he was saving. But when he
(37:27):
came for him to functional, it was easy. Not to
the tax collector. He was then to ask collector Joe.
But when he was to function in the body of Christ,
it was easy. Same as Philip. He was saving food,
isn't it? He was saving food.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Then we got the opportunity to minister to the world,
to the Dupean age.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And after that the Bible recorded him as a vote
as a great evangelist, says Philip.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
The great Word evangel come in by heads repras come
he answer the Lord. We bring us to the place
of service. We do not know it all.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
If not coming to the fullness, if you're not coming
into perfection, but precept upon precept, linus upon lines. That
is when we begin to understand God's plans for us
by be saying says, do not confirm to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed by the.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Ruler of your will, that you may be able to
test good. God's good way is perfect way for us.
So it is not a one day journey to stay
go into your place.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Look, we have to fit in here and try. But
without willingness in your hearts. You will see that God
will now believe you what He wants you to do
in this body. Some of these Greeks and they of
good started to as let you don't say music departs
(39:04):
me and say the music department.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
But here they are, and here as how the Lord
will help us. I think these mercies will help us.
Thank you for ansys. The bruce set with the Great
So we're looking at a series for this month. And
as we know, the Reverend is absence, is on leave
a man, so he's resting and he has charged us
to do this in absential, in his absential. So what
we're doing, what we're looking at, we're looking at you
(00:21):
and the church, You and the what and the church.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's the series we're looking at.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And you and the church means that there's a relationship
within you and the church, isn't it. There's a relationship.
There's a relationship between you and who and the church.
And if there's a relationship between you and the church,
it means that the you that we are talking about
(00:53):
is a what is a believer? The you that we're
talking about is what is believer. So let's start from there.
The you we are talking about is what is a
believer and is relating to what to the church. So
the church is relating to you, which is what a believer.
So we are in a believers meeting this very morning?
(01:16):
Are we together? We're any believers meeting this very morning.
So if you've not given your life to Christ, if
you've not accepted his love and his works for you,
it is a good moment for you to accept him.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Have more and receive you.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Because what we'll be talking about is about those who
are in what in the church.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So this is a believer's meeting. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So the topic before us is your place in the
body of Christ.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So the series is you and the church.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But the topic before us is your place in the
body of Christ or your place in Hilo.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So let's look at the church. Let's go back to
you and the church.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let's tackle that before we go to your place in
the body of Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So what's the church? What is the church? So a
church is a Christian physical house of worship.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So the dictionary defines the church as a Christian physical
house of worship or a building where Christian religious services
take place.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So a church is this physical building we can see.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So let's start from the noon to the words to
the unknown away together. Let's start from what we can
relate with what we can see. So this building that
we're looking at, that we're inside, like this is what
is called the church is what we can call what
the church.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So now let's move forward.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In that definition, it says a Christian isn't it a
Christian physical house? So from that Christian let's go down
a bit. So the church is also a group of
Christian individuals who worship together. The church is what a
group of Christian individuals who worship what together. So the
(03:19):
first definition you can find it in Act to forty six.
You can just write that down. We talked about the
church as a physical building. So the second definition we
can look at it from Acts.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, the cell.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Is not like that is why your sister somebody, we
can grow what's big.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So if a church, then we can work, we can
move forward.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So that definition is that a church is someone who
has made himself worth the temple of what the only goes.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Because you've been bought with a price.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You are not yours, you're not yourself, you're not your word, yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You've been bought with a price. So now we've defined
the church. But now.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Just like I started, we said, you and the church,
we cannot define you. In my book, I just wrote
to you, and I wrote a Christian mark because you
have to be the.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
One to define you. I cannot define you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Even myself cannot define myself entirely in the God moves us.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So now I was where the Bibles was speaking.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It says everything is laid bre before him, because he
judged the content and the intent of our hearts. Are
we together he drodge the words, the content and the
intent of our hearts. So it is only him that
can make you know you better because in him we leave.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We move, and what have our words? Our being?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So if you don't know him, how can you know you?
And then what's function in the church? So it is
taking us back towards to the cross. When we don't
know him, we can't know us or we can't know ourselves,
(05:21):
and then we cannot function effectively what's in the church?
For some time now, that is what we've been having
with the youth. Come, let us reason together, what is
the reason? What is the issue? Why can't we be
what's be dedicated?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
When you go back.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And find out that your life is is not sing
your righteousness is as what is as fauty rang, then
you begin to look for the righteousness that is worth,
that is glorious, and that's one it's not found who
it is founding in Christ Jesus. And when you are
able to find that, that is why you can be
(06:06):
able to function what in the church. That is why
I said this meeting is for believers.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This meeting is what is for believers.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And I believe that throughout the year we've been doing
a lot about servation and all of that.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I want to believe that all of us in
here are what our believers. So it depends on you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You need to define yourself and how can you define yourself?
You need to go back to so Christ. So now
we have our texts. I know I've not read from
our text. I needed to lead this foundation. Our text
is taken from Corinthians First Corinthians, Chapter twelve, from verse.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Twelve to twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But before we read it, we need to still have
another backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Away Together were.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Seemed to have a story of who these people are
and why this chapter twelve was written to what to them?
So now apposed to Paul was writing to whom. He
was writing to the Corinthian church. This was his first
letter to the Karnthian Church.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And he was writing this because he had a report.
I was a report.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The report was because there was what division in the church.
People were, what were misbehaving?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Door?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
There were Christians away together, door, there were Christians. The
ac called upon the name of the Lord with a
pure heart. There were ste what mis behaving? So now
are they doing or were they're doing? So in first
(08:00):
crunchines three one to four we see that Paul called
them whats canal Christians bibes in Christ. You can just
check that quickly, Projector went, where's ncience? Come on projects first?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You just be projecting, will not be reading it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yes, So first clunchers three one to words one to four,
we saw that Apo called them words carnal Christians. He
called them whats can now Christians, don't they were Christians.
There were words still canna. We called them bibes in
What's in Christ? He called them what bibes in Christ?
(08:49):
And why was that? Because Paul had done his ministry
with them, and now Appollos went to don't do.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Ministry with them? And there was divisions. This one said me.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And for this pastor digital person saying may I'm for
this reference, may I'm saying for and for Apollos the
on a person say and for what and for Paul?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So there was what there was division. And I want
to believe our.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Our Bible reading that was taken in Acts Acts fifteen
was giving us a needs of the back story. I
want to believe that Apollos was what ate you, and
he came to talk to them about circumcision. Yes, he
came to talk to them about circumcision. Was telling them, no,
(09:39):
we don't have to go down the rounds. What God
is saving is your what is your spirits and your soul.
It's not saving your wor your flesh, because your flesh
with perish here and need to decay.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It isn't it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So what he was trying to bring to them was
that you people are fighting over what is using less,
just the way children will be fighting over maybe spoon,
for example, They will fight over spoon, cry, and finally
they will drop that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Spoon and go their way. Have you seen such things? Amen? Amen,
let's let's talk. Have we seen such things?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Children will fight over spoon, maybe for spoon, maybe sleepers.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They will fight, fight, fright, fights, cry, and before you.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Made they will drop it and everybody will go and
you'll be like Ozana, what was causing contention among them?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Osannah?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
What's worth crossing? Fights amongst them? But they've dropped it
the doll who know where the sleepers will be in
the next one hour, the next five days. They've dropped it.
And they've moved on with their lives.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
So that was the same thing that was happening towards
the Corinthian Church, and he was telling them, you believe
in like boops, so let's continue.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And our complain was that there was sexual words immorality
amongst them, first Coarentians five one to two.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Certainly that one even slept with his father's wife. It
was that band are we together?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And our complain was that there were court cases first
Criarenters six one to two. There were court cases. We
had land issues and we took it to the judge
who was an what an unbeliever to judge between the
both of us, us that are called ourselves what Christians?
We cannot come to a fine agreement amongst us.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You took it to what to the courts.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm not saying that if you have a reason to
go to courts you should not go more. I'm trying
to say that can you find another means? Can you
find another way to resolve it? Just like Jesus was speaking,
he says, if someone is taking you to the courts,
be his friend on the way to the courts, try
to resolve it, because by the time.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You go there it is time too. They will ask
of you, you will pay layers.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You pay this one, you pay that one, isn't it
you pay a lot and at the end maybe you
now lose the case. Then I asked you to pay fine.
On topic again, I wish together. So this were the
issues that they were having.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
So a lot of them were.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Also having what they were having a struggle with what
godly marriage. They didn't understand how godly marriage should be.
That's the seven chapter seven once and three and chapter
eight once or two. There were some that were partaking
in what in easing things that were offered to what
to IDUs.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They were eating things that were offered to do to IDUs.
So they had.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Understanding that if I eat it, there's nothing wrong that
will happen to me because I now understanding, I have
an understanding that what I am not.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
In Christ, I am a new creation all things that
are passed away.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But for others that do not, it's to make them
to stumble and need to make them to go back
and start doing all these festivals, all these ideal worshiping
because they feel like it's a normach into what to
eat it, But somebody is eating it out of knowledge.
Another person is eating it out of what ignorance? So
(13:26):
you're telling them that don't okay. So now this church
was in Christ, but the was they lacked their identity.
They were having what identity crisis? They were having? What
identity crisis? This wan I say, I'm from this one.
This wanta says this one.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I am doing this one.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm doing the one, all to the accent that when
they come for love feasts, sorry no love the Lord's Supper.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Somebody will go hidiankity food and eat a man. Maybe
that was right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They started making the bread very small. Maybe it was
because of this church. Amen, he didn't get my joke.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Let's continue.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So some people who are going to hijack the food,
and I'm going it's I'm going it's up to the
support to them that before you come for low supper,
better it's in your house. Don't come ba finish our
food here. Don't come and finish better it's in your house.
Because some people want we hijack the food and going
(14:29):
to eat and others to not get food.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
For low supper. So that was why we maybe we
began to make the bread very small.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The copner became small, so that you know, even if
you take double rational, you know, do you amen?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So this was what was what's happening?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And they had what an identity was crisis up to
the extent that in First Corinthians in love in this one,
what did Possy Persey imitates me as I imitate Christ.
So if you you do not have a map a bearing,
if you don't have an image to follow, follow me
(15:06):
as I watched, follow Christ. If you cannot read the
word for yourself and follow Christ, just follow all the
trees I did when I was with you, Just do it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
This that way. And that is a call for leaders.
That's the call for what for leaders?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That you can exemplify your life to an extent that
you can tell somebody that Mama follow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You as I watch full of Christ. You can tell
someone who is younger than you follow you what you
see me do? Just do it like copy copyists you
pass you weren't heavy. That statement is a very burroom.
We need to think about it. It's a very profound
(15:57):
word statement. Can somebody copy our lives word for word?
Unlock it?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Or would somebody say ah, because I copied his life.
That is why I couldn't look it. That is why
this message is what is a believer? That's what needs
you and the Word and the church. It is all
that when we follow your life, we can't view the church.
(16:30):
When I follow my life.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I can't build the Word a church. All the thing
is that you show me did you heard from you?
So that possible? Speaking to the moody says all that
you read me see says what?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Pass it on to others, pass it on to others,
pass it on to other young men, pass it to
what to other young mens. So because of the identity christis,
will happened poor how to recommend that they follow him
as he as he follow Christ? So in the day
(17:14):
that the person stop following Christ, don't follow him.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So let's bring a balance to that. So the condition
is that you follow me as I follow what Christ.
That's the condition. Let's continue. So now, due to all
of this division, something that happened in chapter twelve away
(17:38):
together something that happened in chapter twelve. So in chapter twelve,
Paul was not telling them that brilliant, I do not
want you to be unaware of the spiritual gifts. I
do not want you to be ignorant about what these
spiritual gifts, because it can come to an extent that
(18:00):
God will last I giving you people spirit try gifts
and this church will never recover him. Not this church, sorry,
but the Crenian Church. That was what Apple suppose trying
to talk to them about.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's so what was he trying to say. Let's that's
really quick, one says.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Verse one says, now, first Chritians to a vest One says, now,
brother and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts.
Remember the Okay, let's just move on. There's four things.
There are different kinds of spirit trug gift, but they're
all from the same spirit. There are different ways to serve,
(18:46):
but serve the same Lord, the six and they are
different ways that God works in people, but it is
the same God.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Who works in all of us to do what to
do everything.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So now I was telling them that see, you can
now begin to have what spiritual gift sings. And in
this spiritual gifting.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
What would mostly happen is that everybody will go to
form a clique. Everybody will form a clique and they
will leave the words the church a wing together.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So people that can speak in don't they will? God say, Ah,
these people they cannot speak in tomb. They're very un spiritual.
Let's go on our own church. That's why I said
our own words, our own church. Let's call it speaking.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
His ministry starts people that can see that the Lord
has opened their eyes to see. They will go open
because of what.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Because they've been division rights from what right from time.
So because they've been divisional right from time, it would
be easy. It would be easy to divide now because
I now have my words, my gifts, I can now move.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm gonna build my own church.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Somebody asked the question doing Sunday school and said, what
if somebody had the dream and the parents mistook it
for something else, and and they're now they don't believe
the person and all of that. In my heart, my
heart of heart, I answered this. But in my heart
of hearts, one of the reasons is because we do
(20:26):
not have this diverse gift in the church anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Are we together? We do not.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Encourage these diverse gifts anymore. And not because we do
not encourage it per se, but because we have not
been disciple.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Towards to that level. Are we together?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It is because we've not been disciple toward to that
level that you begin to work to be. You begin
to yeld for a spiritual gifts. You don't stop us
coming into.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Christ and giving your life to Christ, and you stop them.
You begin to yend forward for spiritual gifts such that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yes, I don't have money, civil and good I don't have,
but we can see in blind om and saying, receive.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Your sights, and it is words.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It is a place of what discipleship that we can
come into that word, that reality. So the apostles were
worth were all known men, we're no more people. There
were words learned men, no more people. But because they
stayed with Jesus, all happened to them. They were what
(21:50):
they were transformed, such that God handed over his ministry
on earth to them.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Hm He undered words over his ministry towards to them
on it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And there was men lacking signs and words and wonders,
suchly that the aprons handkerchief of these men were healing people.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Those are words, signs and wonders, and those were what
gifts to serve the church. Those were gifts towards to
serve the word the church. So he came as a gift,
just that this man were a.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Drunkard, but he began to speak to them and their
their trunks began.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Towards to speak in their dinods, and that was what
the supernatural.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And it was easy for them towards to have three
thousand added to the church. Three thousand homnicroseds can add
three thousands to the church. Amniculus and holy services can
add three thousands to the church. So it is because
(23:08):
of that gifting and for the apostles, they used it to.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What to build the church. But it was warning the
Corinthian Church that if these same.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Gifts come upon you, you just gattered this church, because
everybody will go on, they're gonna start doing what's branding.
There's something called branding. Right now, you brand yourself as
a seer. You now have a social media page, you
now have this one, you have this one. You're now
a church on your own. But instead what should have
(23:40):
happened is that you're going to meet your pastor. I
can now see you, and the pastor will I welcome you. Okay,
let's see how we can build most years. Okay, somebody
is two three, Let's say how we can encourage that
person somebody has a world of words of encourage in
(24:00):
that person.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Encourage you no you don't have money in your account,
Encouragement that we come for you. It is as if
you want to go have a house in what's in
the wan.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
That is what encouragement. Not everybody has that, but there
are some people that has that spirit of leadership. I
think one of the speakers doing the Uts and Race
Congress instead, he started his companion what's in his house,
started his company in his house, and right now it's
flying over the world. Imagine that kind of person is
(24:37):
in a church like this and it's a mean, let's
do something. Let's build instead of you leave in the church,
I'm going to start something and nest build the church
and we together. So now knows what he was trying
to work to find and that was and that brought
us towards to this tolve. So let's read the stuff
(25:03):
to twenty seven God the whole time, taking time, but.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Let's say how we can go through first with this.
A person.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes okay,
yes they are many parts, but all those parts are
still just one body. Christ is like that too, you man,
cause I worry for me using a different vation from
what I studied. Okay, okay, thank you, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
So so is christ h kay.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is therefore not of the body. If the old body
were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the
old body were hearing, where would be or where would
be the smelling? But now God has said the members,
each one of them, and the body just as he pleased.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And if they were all one member, where would the
body be? World ver's no.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Verse trengthy okay, But now indeed there are many members
yet one body, and the I cannot say to the hand,
I have no need of you none.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Again, they add to the feet, I have no need
of you no much. Rather, those members of the body
which seems to be.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Weaker and necessary, and those members of the body which
are which we think to be less honorable. Of this
would be still great honor and a place. Our own
presentable part have great modesty. But our presentable parts have
no need. But God composed the body. I've been given
(27:45):
greater honor to that part which lets it verse twenty
five that there should be no ski zame of the body,
but that the member should have the same case for
one another.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Vers.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Twin to six, and if one members soffer, all the
members sofare with it, or if one member is honorable,
all the members rejoices, rejoice with it.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Vers.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Sins, all of you together and the body of Christ.
Each one of you is a part of that world
of the building.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So now.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
This part of the bangle was trying to explain the
body of Christ using us, okay, and using our physical
body to explain it.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, now it does not explain it. It does. It
does explain it well. But here's it's in.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Unlike our physical body that is very much connect, are
we together all like our finished physical body that is
very not connected.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The way it is with us is that we can
decide to die and relieve together.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
We can decide today and say I don't want to
be part of this body, and somebody else will take
your parts. So unlike our physical body that we cannot
just easily cut the finger and will feel the pin definitely,
just like the will. If one of us leaves the
body of Christ, there's what there's a grief, there's like
(29:35):
Heaven rejoices over one.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
So that is what is saved. So that means if
a soul is lost, there will be what there will
be learning are we together?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
So now, just like if we cut our finger, there
will be what there will be pin And that is
how it is when we leave, say I don't live now,
not to concern me with them again, isn't it that
is in the picture.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But because Christ is.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
The word, is the head. And when you feel pain,
you feel it way in your head. There's that pain,
that sharpening that comes to your word, to your head.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And we're together. So now we are not trying to
explain our body or the body of Christ, just the
way our what our body is.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We're trying to explain the body of Christ just the
way our body is. And now we want to look
at your place in the body of what of Christ?
What is your place in the body of Christ? For
you you might think that you're not important, and for
you you think that you're the most importance. But what
(30:45):
has Christ toldos this money truth world?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He said, even that part that seems only important, it
is giving what Haney, It is what is giving what's harmed.
And it is that part again that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You say, and.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I want to be eyeing everybody wants to be Eye
because I do want.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
The ice now, so I want to be I. Everybody
wants to be here, and that is what that's worth.
That will not do us work, that will not do
us good. When everybody wants to be eye, everybody wants
to be worth's here. But instead if you think that
your old parts is.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That small parts and there's no health, no, no, what
is God telling.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Of this morning that you will bring what who needs
to eat? You bring what who not to eat? And
just like let's look back to and the virus and
all of this. Yes, immune system, how do you think
(31:50):
the immune system is being beautiful?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It is when we come in contact with the words
with gems.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
So in as much as we think that germs and
not necessary, it is also what's necessary to vi our
what our immune system.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
So by wrapping up, I.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Want us to come to the place of where we
locate our position, what's in Christ?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Our what our place in what in Christ?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And I've said that if you do not know you,
you will not be able to understand your position in
what in Christ. So for you to know and take
your position in the body of Christ, which is shed,
will stress answered the question who are you in Jesus Christ.
Who are you and what in Jesus Christ? So we
(32:43):
looked at Jeremiah today says what you are prophets. In
Psam's Oneted to Mine, it says you are fearfully and
wonderfully what we need. In John chapter one, verse twelve,
it says you are the son of what of God?
In First Grit, Un six nineteen to twelve says you
are the temple of the Word.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
The Holy Gos. You have been more bought with the praise.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Second puter to verse nine says your words a choosing generation. So,
as believers, if all of these things have been said
concerning us and we still do not know our identity
we are in Christ, then there's an issue because when
you know yourself in Christ, then you can be able
to work to function in Christ. So you need to
(33:29):
know it and you need to work believe it. You
need to know your identity, you need to work to
believe it. So how can you also re locate to
your place in Christ. You need to work fellowship with
the Holy Spirit. You need to study, you need to pray, okay,
you need to meditate on God's world. You need to
(33:49):
long for it, passion you need to learn for what
for it?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's Zeo. You need to have passion for it. That's
zer You need to work, have passion for it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You need to live in what in obedience, serving in
what in the body of Christ, serving in Hilu the willing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It would not be that we need to preach to
you all.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
We need who recites Genesis to revelation to you before
you now say okay and we'll do it. That is
you agreeing to do it, and now the day for
you to do it. We want see you need to
know that we are in important as we're not here.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You imagine I was. You are here.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You think I will be able to communicate like this,
you know, but because we have evils to you and
that's what to listen, that's why I'm here. So please, please,
and please, let's take it to that that we are
important and we have a role to play in what
in the body of Christ. And it's only believers that
can do what play that's what play that role. So
(34:52):
I want us to know that we've been brought with
a word in price. Your life is not your own. Amen,
You've been brought with a price. Your life is what
is not your own.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And therefore you have towards glorify whats God. So how
much more can you glorify God if it is not
for you to want to serve Him.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And to do what good works. So in conclusion, it
is our service in ing that we all post what
identify and will place in will.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
For some of us, we wanted to come revelation like this. Okay,
you're supposed to be in the ocean department. That is
where you are. That's your gift or that that's your gift,
is supposed to be pression. But the truth is that
you have towards starts.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
It small, precept upon what precept, lines upon lines you
need to work. Start small one, start with the ocean departments.
If you are not to show h starts that's.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
What that is what service.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And in a little way you see that God will
begin to open your heart to all that things. Starting
the music department before you leave, something is drawing you
toward today Sonday school. Starting this on the school before
you know, something is drawing you. In the pyramids, youth,
we need involunteers in the pyramids.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
And also in the Soudi school department. So opinions, you
know this very morning. Please let's draw this and this
this department is the church, and so we can bring
about what good in the body of Christ.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So I plied with us. Service is open service that
we begin to know on our place. It is what
true service will begin to know our place in Christ
Jesus for muses he wanted to nod it over you happen,
he said, who made you runia over us? So he
(37:03):
had to go back and tend to ships, tend to
flox for over another how many years of his life
before when we were king, he was now recognized as
what as a leader? So please, it is true service
that no applas the consumation. So when he gave it
is one of them he was saving. But when he
(37:27):
came for him to functional, it was easy. Not to
the tax collector. He was then to ask collector Joe.
But when he was to function in the body of Christ,
it was easy. Same as Philip. He was saving food,
isn't it? He was saving food.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Then we got the opportunity to minister to the world,
to the Dupean age.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And after that the Bible recorded him as a vote
as a great evangelist, says Philip.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
The great Word evangel come in by heads repras come
he answer the Lord. We bring us to the place
of service. We do not know it all.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
If not coming to the fullness, if you're not coming
into perfection, but precept upon precept, linus upon lines. That
is when we begin to understand God's plans for us
by be saying says, do not confirm to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed by the.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Ruler of your will, that you may be able to
test good. God's good way is perfect way for us.
So it is not a one day journey to stay
go into your place.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Look, we have to fit in here and try. But
without willingness in your hearts. You will see that God
will now believe you what He wants you to do
in this body. Some of these Greeks and they of
good started to as let you don't say music departs
(39:04):
me and say the music department.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
But here they are, and here as how the Lord
will help us. I think these mercies will help us.
