Our ideologies are formed by the culture in which we were brought up. Yet - in the midst of our brokenness - we have been brought together by the Spirit of God into one community. When it comes to the Body of Christ - one should not stand out over another. But rather when you see the church - you should not see individuals - you should only see Jesus. The same oneness - the same unity that Jesus and His Father enjoyed - is exactly what God expects out of His people.
This book consists of seven sermons: "I Love My Church," "Genuine Love," "Build God's House," "The Mission," "Be A Community," "Our Responsibility," and "Our Inspiration." These easy-to-use guided sermons are designed to remind us to be aware of the way that the Lord blesses us each and every day. These books contain a large number of reflective questions and function partly as journals, making each sermon adaptive to your targeted audience.
The purpose of the Collective Words of Wisdom series is to encourage us all to become more intentional Christians, more engaged in the word of God, and more obedient to the Lord and aware of the ways in which He works in our lives as well as the ways in which we can honor Him in how we live our lives. By doing this, we can grow in faith as well as discover, understand, and eventually carry out our God-given purposes as individuals and as Christians.
