Speaker: NCCF Church Title: Church Sharing Date: 10-06-2019 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that Christians must strive to be reflections of Jesus Christ, both individually through purity and corporately within the church. The speaker emphasizes that believers are equipped by God for good works and should actively encourage one another to love and good deeds, comparing this to a catalyst in chemistry. He applies this principle to his family life, stressing the importance of patience and kindness, and notes that godly examples from others are a powerful source of spiritual stimulation and encouragement.
