god's desire from of old and his vision and his goal for the in the new covenant is that my identity might be completely swallowed up in jesus christ and who he is this is the name that shall be called the lord's our righteousness can you imagine

just where we are when it comes to being part of the family of god being part of the body of christ that's what we've sought to build in these 47 years we don't build a name for ourselves

points back and says Christians today please take a look at that it was actually Jude uh a verse in Jude verse 5 that really got me thinking about that and that shapes a lot of my um understanding um so I'm thankful for

things like we have the mind of Christ he says in First Corinthians 2. have this attitude walk in the same manner as which means there is an equality with Jesus that we're called to have not in identity as God but in the quality of

little child was brought to the temple to be dedicated to God so it's a good practice even though it's not commanded specifically there are two ways of receiving Christ into our homes now Jesus himself is in

hello good afternoon everyone I'm so thankful to be here and to be a part of the body of Christ I came to the Lord and I was 16 years old and ever since it has been an amazing journey of growing in him and trusting him however following Jesus at a young age

everything else was because there was in the heart of people of passion to discover more and more and more and any christian who is not doing that to discover more and more of the life of jesus should be ashamed when he looks at these

so I would like to continue from what we heard from George just now Christ died the just for the unjust that we might bring us to God there's a beautiful expression in Ephesians in chapter one

nail is also important the nail can do things which an eye can never do each is a different function and once I find my security in the body of Christ but every member has a function and my heavenly father decided which

of the Apostles and the prophets and the Cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself we are carefully joined together in him becoming a holy Temple for the Lord through him you Gentiles are also being made part of his dwelling where God

Blue Earth around is sweeter green something lives in every you Christ eyes have never seen wordss with

in God Christ to his planted by faith into Jesus death through prayer it shines forth all our

works and so when Jesus turned round to his disciples and said to them you are the light of the world we need to understand what that means my subject today is the Christ life for the self

did ministry become his identity was was was his identity in his ministry that he was the treasurer and he lost sight of his love for Christ because he was so busy with this ministry of being a treasurer and and the second question I

to a piece of dust that's in christ who has a compassionate father that knows that i'm just a piece of dust and there's so many encouragement that I feel I'm getting out of this passage and one of them is that it's given more life

so I wanted to share briefly just a reflection this week as I was thinking about this first the last verse especially we proclaimed him him whom Paul says he proclaims his Christ in you the hope of glory and christ in us is

light so my love for Christ must be so great it's not that I don't love father mother wife children and all that but it must almost be like Darkness compared to my love for Christ and the illustration

sand all the tables right but the who got the recognition joseph even in jesus's identity he's the backup and here's what's encouraging to me if if jesus worked in that carpenter shot from the time he was 12 till he began his ministry at 30 18 years of his

so uh i was having a conversation with uh somebody a while back and uh we were talking about the the preaching of the way of the cross and uh i believe that's that's the message that's lacking perhaps the most in christendom today

that concerns the Lord is not so much that the world has not been reached with the gospel. I come from a country where 98% are non-Christians. And I've traveled the whole length and breadth of that land. And my problem as I see as I see is not
