2011-03-27-1800 Jason York, Central's youth pastor, delivers the message this evening March 27th, 2011Scripture Ref: Romans 12:9-13; Psalm 37; 65; Acts 6; 11; 12; Hebrews 10:24-25Topic: The ChurchNotes:
- The purpose of the church is NOT to get people saved, healed, delivered or reconciled to family/friends, missions, evangelism, to care for the needy, to praise & worship...- Purpose of the church IS the edification of the saints; when this is happening, the other things will also happen- We are all destitute sometime- We put the pressure on our pastor to edify... we are all supposed to edify one another.- If someone has a need, someone else should meet that need- This requires personal contact with other human beings- Snap judgments; Story of judgement based on one side of phone conversation in NY- For people to know our love is sincere, what our devotion and honor is, to share and be shared with, to show hospitality... we must build relationships.- We must challenge one another to do good things- Sometimes love waxes cold but it doesn’t make you any less called to do it.- Jesus loved so He went.
