Speaker: NCCF Church Title: Church Sharing Date: 09-08-2019 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 reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker uses the analogy of carrying a heavy 'trash bag' of sin (malice, greed, anger) to illustrate the burden of self-effort, contrasting it with the rest offered by Christ. True rest is found by taking Christ's yoke, which requires learning gentleness and humility, rather than bearing self-imposed burdens.
