Posted by John Lukomona on Sunday, June 9, 2024
Summary of the Sermon:
-We will follow what Christ did
Luke 4:14-16
-Jesus lived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
-An Assembly is a place where different dynamics are and God wants people to come and receive their healing, and receive the faith of God.
Mark 1:23-26
-We must be gentle with one another in the local assembly.
-If we as Christians are committed to a local assembly, we can easily begin to invite others.
-Christians should be committed to a local assembly because it is what Jesus practiced and we follow his example.
Luke 4:16-20
-We go to a local assembly because it was Jesus’ custom.
*A custom is a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or doing something to a particular society, place or time.
*It is a tradition of our faith.
-We go to a local assembly because it is a habitual practice.
*The habitual practice is to go to church at least once every week.
John 7:14
*Our example is Jesus our master. What he did, we also do.
*Our master loved congregating in the Temple and the Synagogue.
*Jesus did not just attend but he served in the local church.
-We go to church because it is one of the fundamentals of our faith.
*Like Paul, we should imitate him just as he imitates Christ.
*We should never stop attending church services Simple’s because we cannot stand people*
-We must be participants according to the level of your anointing.
*In the local assembly, you might meet your destiny helper and likewise, you could be someone else’s destiny helper
Mark 1:21
*Because of the importance of the church, the church is our place of; comfort, feeding and exercising our gift for the sake of others.
-We must have factual evidence as Christians.
-When you don’t go to church, you cause other people to fail to climb up the ladder.
-Only you can manifest correctly the gift God has given you.
Matthew 4:23
*You have an opportunity to hear the gospel.
*The local assembly must be a priority whether you have travelled or not.
