WE ARE....... Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: Before a leader can lead he must first know where he is going. Also for the church to lead others to the foot of the cross we must understand who we are. The bible says we are a fellowship. A top priority in fellowship is unity and harmony. In other words we are in agreement in the direction we are going and who we are following. We are also a family. Just as we have earthly fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters those who are born again have spiritual dads, moms, and brethren. When we gather together with a common goal we function based on relationships. The bible also says we are a body. Just as the body has many parts that differ in appearance and function we realize that each of us are different. So instead of disputing over our differences we rejoice in how the Lord has uniquely created us to function in unity to accomplish his will. Lastly we are a flock. Therefore the church is cared for and led by shepherds who are following the chief Shepherd our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
