Ministry with tongue

Pdt. Jacob N.

Seminar, Thursday March 23rd 2006

Church is God’s tongue in the world.

It is supposed to declare the glory of God to the world.

The service in the chruch should be better that the service we find in the public area such as supermarket, bandk, etc. It the church is losing its kindness then don’t ask questions why people leaving from church.

To receive Christ you pay nothing, but then there’s price you have to pay when you follow Him. Our ministry is part of our way on following Him.

Don’t worry about your future because God’s promise that He will bless His people while they sleep. Sleep means the dead of all activities that means that your eyes, ears and mouth will out of use while you’re sleeping. So don’t worry if God can bless you while you do nothing all you need just come to Him first in time of need not to other human being.

Church must be in unity

Unity is the source of the blessing.

Eph 4:1-6

As a prisoner of the Lord, I beg you to live in a way that is worthy of the people God has chosen to be his own.

Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other.

Try your best to let God's Spirit keep your hearts united. Do this by living at peace.

All of you are part of the same body. There is only one Spirit of God, just as you were given one hope when you were chosen to be God's people.

We have only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.

There is one God who is the Father of all people. Not only is God above all others, but he works by using all of us, and he lives in all of us.

Unity is an effort, it takes a sacrifice. We are told to be united based on our likeness not on our differences. We must be united because we have the same God.

6 steps to the church union

1. effort (eph 4:3), you must question what kind of effort we should do?

2. using 1 language (pure)

Zep 3:9

I will purify each language and make those languages acceptable for praising me. Then, with hearts united, everyone will serve only me, the LORD.

3. same burden

4. humble heart

Zep 3:11

When that time comes, you won't rebel against me and be put to shame. I'll do away with those who are proud and arrogant. Never will any of them strut around on my holy mountain.

But I, the LORD, won't destroy any of your people who are truly humble and turn to me for safety.

5. focus on the likeness not on the differences

6. understand that the differences is God’s grace, be thankful for that.
