TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - NOVEMBER 4, 2020

The Church is the Kingdom of God

Today is November 4, 2020

Welcome to your mid-week!

In the bible, Christians are called a 'holy nation,' 'God's people,' and 'fellow citizens.' We are not separated by geography, states, or political colors but by those who are lost and those who are found.

And all of us were once lost. All of had our own journey to find the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ.

Meaning, if we can see all people from that perspective, then we can have empathy for all people because, all of us, at one time, were spiritual immigrants. 

With so much dividing us in this world, meditating on the metaphor of the church being the Kingdom of God is a reminder to look at the larger, spiritual perspective. The thing that truly divides us is sin. The one that truly unites us - that is the bridge, the way, & the gate - is Christ.

God's blessing and protection over you and I look forward to worshiping with you online this Sunday.

- Rev. Frank Kim
