Theme;” Life Together in Jesus Christ, Empowered by the Holy Spirit”
Opening message of Pastor from Manado on John 17. Jesus prayer that all of believers maybe one, may they be in us, so that the world will believe
Even if the church members are different, they need to be one because they are one in Christ to bring witness to the world.
Unity of the church is not a dream, we need to surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit, let Him remove our arrogance, and make us walk in the light and not in darkness.
Let us see our potential in the midst of diversity. The body is made up of many parts and we must exercise functional collaboration and strive to mutually respect and enrich each other. We need to overcome our two problems in the church: Stealing sheep, Pride in our tradition.
The two purpose of the Church: Grow spiritually; all ministries are geared towards it. Be the salt and light in the world; we must be relevant to the issues around the world; we live in the same oikos created by God thus the need to work with others.
May the Lord guide us and give heavenly wisdom and celebrate what God is doing through us.
