Kirk Reflections 19th June 2024.
Rev. Erick du Toit brings this week's reflection from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.
FLOURISHING PALM TREES
"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God."
(Psalm 92: 12-13)
This week, we explore Psalm 92!
Here are some thoughts on WHY we gather to worship God by Ian Simkins…
“When church is only and event…
The sanctuary becomes a theatre
The people become the audience
The music becomes the entertainment
The preaching becomes the keynote
But, when Church is the people
Both gathered and scattered…
The sanctuary, people, music, and preaching become
Vehicles for healing, restoration, equipping, and sending.

The purpose of a car isn’t to fill it with fuel.
It’s to go somewhere. Fuel simply helps it get there…

The purpose of church is not to merely fill us with information.
It’s to equip us to go somewhere.
To live on mission.
Wherever we are.
It’s to equip us to go somewhere.
To live on mission.
Wherever we are.
The gathering is profoundly important.
But it’s not the whole picture.
It’s preperation to live on mission.
To bring Heaven to Earth
To push back darkness wherever we encounter it.

Church isn’t a building
Worship isn’t just music
Prayer isn’t for the experts
Ministry isn’t just for ministers
Mission isn’t something we add – it is our life.

Church isn’t an event you go to.
It’s a family you belong to.
It’s a family you belong to.
We won’t change the world by only going to church.
We’ll change it by being the church.
We’ll change it by being the church.
