A Field of Daizy's

We are 'The Church'

I just had to add to todays, blog. I already wrote this morning. But if Kenzie can give you pastoral sermon notes, so can I.

Our pastor had been doing a series on our denominations Articles of Faith(Church of the Nazarene). Yesterday he preached on 'The Church'. Not just what our denominations beliefs are, but the 'Church' as the body of Christ. Here are a couple quotes from his sermon.

1. We don't got to church. We are the Church.

2 .We don't act in isolation. We are not a solitary entity. Meaning the "Church' includes all those Christians here and world wide. Each and every denomination. When one part suffers we all suffer. When one part is exalted, we all are exalted.

3. We are not an oganization, we are an organism. The 'Church' is not just a social organization that has a specific purpose. We are a living, breathing 'body' that has a specific purpose; to make sure we live a life, wholly pleasing to our Lord, and to help others join us in our endeavor.

It is so exciting to me to think that even though we all belong to different Christian denominations, in all parts of the world, we are joined together, (connected) by our One and Only Savior. We are the 'Church', the 'Body of Christ'!!
