Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 04/11/2021 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, which requires personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker outlines three ways to build a godly home: being an encourager to every member, serving the family by discerning and filling needs, and leading by example. Furthermore, one must act as a watchman, diligently interceding for the family against internal sins and compromise, while always remembering that the Lord must build the house.

Are you on the alert for the coming of the Lord?Believers are reminded to stay on the alert for Christ's return by acting as faithful and sensible stewards of their households.

Providing rations at the proper time to build a godly homeThe speaker shares three ways parents can build a godly home, starting with being an encouragement to every member of the family.

Being a servant of the homeThe second way to provide proper rations is by practically serving family members, discerning their needs, and leading them by example in following Christ.

Being a guardian or a watchmanThe third way is to act as a watchman through constant intercession and fiercely guarding the home against the smallest creeping sins of the flesh.

Sin is like having leprosyLeprosy isolated people from society and their families just as sin separates us from God, yet Jesus shows His love by reaching out to cleanse us.

Jesus came for those who absolutely need HimJesus came for the poor in spirit who recognize their desperate need for Him, just as the leper approached Jesus with total humility and no self-confidence.

The result in us after healingWhen Jesus cleanses us from sin, He restores us and invites us to stay continually in His presence where we truly belong.

The promise of His presence for His disciplesThe memory verse about Jesus being with us always is linked to the condition of making disciples and teaching them to obey His commands.

Overcoming discouragement in disciple-makingMaking disciples is hard work that can lead to discouragement, but Jesus calls us to behold the unique and comforting promise that He will be with us always.Matthew 28:20
