TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 4, 2023
Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 9:22AM The Power of One
Today is October 4, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
This past Sunday, during our bi-annual Joint Worship, our Youth Pastor, Pastor Michelle, preached on the last prayer Jesus prayed before he was betrayed and crucified. And what was the one thing that Jesus prayed for the church to have?
Unity.
Unity is what Jesus and the Father had, and unity is what Jesus prayed that we would have as a church. And the reason Jesus prayed this for us was that, through unity, we would be able to show the world who Jesus is. That, if such differing people can be united under the love of Christ, then, as Jesus said:
"Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (John 17:23)
And, with that, Pastor Michelle challenged us by asking: "Are you in the father? Are you in Christ? And are they in you?"
And she followed those questions with this statement: "We got a lot of people who are good at being 'in church,' but there is a difference between being in God and being in church."
And so, for the sake of those who are lost; for the sake of the great commission; for the sake of everyone who we pray would come to the faith, Pastor Michelle pleaded with us to find
unity
for, when we do, the power from that oneness will be the knowledge of Christ to the world.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on what it means to be in Christ compared to being in church, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
