Revelation and Relationships 啓示と関係

Revelation: Who He is and who that makes me
Relationships: You cannot accomplish anything alone
Not marry the one you love, love the one you marry
Ladies made to shine!
Men made to boldness!
1. Gospel Centered Community 福音中心なコミュニティー
The Gospel: Shame and Honor
Ephesians 2:4-10
Being before doing
Takusei "worthiness"
Gospel centered community reveals the gospel. Without the gospel the community wouldn’t form on its own. We are not interest based, class based, race based, marital status based. We are not even “gospel plus” community. This community is everywhere and inclusive for everyone. It has been my pleasure to welcome hundreds of people into this community. It has been my pleasure to ask people to leave the community.
1) refusal to recognize leadership
2) lack of love and gratitude for other members
3) lowering the bar of excellence
4) talking down instead of building up
If there’s someone like this that you know, just let them know we don’t do that around here. If they persist bring it to me and it will be my pleasure to help them find the door and another community that shares similar values.
1) Honor those who have gone ahead,
2) Celebrate those around us,
3) Encourage those that come after us
Expansion Offering
Our community has breadth and depth.
Supernatural community is like riding a bike. It happens with our eyes on the goal, not on the pedals. We like to focus on mechanics and structure and methods and numbers. God says love him and love people. Making disciples is about students of his way. Look, Jesus said love people as he loved you. We get out of balance when we forget this principle or don’t understand the depth of his love. What we need is not new programs and materials... We need more tears! More prayers! More of the spirit!
