Why does God
see it is as something important – your assembling?
Why is it
important and what is the local church?Why does the local church exist?
Acts 2:42,
46
The local
church it is God’s creation and His idea.
There are 2
levels of the church that exists – Body of Christ and the local church.
Body of
Christ – it is all Christians all over the globe, that believe in the same
Father God, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Local church
– it is God’s answer to the cry of people. It is God’s answer to the problems
that overfills the society.
What are the
signs of the local church?
-Vision
from God (actual reason why any church is starting. Not bcs of lack of churches
in the city)
-Pastor
and Leadership (people in the church should grow spiritually to go on higher
levels of their responsibilities with God)
-Actions
toward God’s vision for the local church (movement of the church according to
the vision of the church, which is God’s strategy)
As a local
church – we need to understand the reasons of the church and God’s original
purpose of the church. And together with it we have to see our place in that
vision.
God is gathering people
together according to His vision!!! He is our Creator and He knows what do we
have to accomplish on the Earth. To do that – He is placing us into the church
according His plan and His originalidea.
Our vision –
to raise 250 leaders of movements that will return glory to God and spread and
establish His principles in our state.
Example:
-Worship
nights
-Night
prayers
-Rehab
center
-Street
teenagers
-Families
-Mommy
club
That’s is
the first phase of God’s vision for our church.
The second
phase is to launch national movements on the foundation of state movements, by
concurring new spiritual territories in USA.
Our church –
is the answer to the spiritual cry of this land. The church has been started as
the answer from God and we are here, bcs He sees our lives as this answer.
Do you think
that you are here bcs of your needs or problems? – God could easily bring you
to any church in the world, but knowing your destiny, He has brought you to
this local church.
We are not
just attending the church – we need to understand and know God’s plan for the
local church and our place in that plan.
