Do We Still Need Church By Brent Phillips
Do we need churches any more? Some people have gone to church to find the things they have heard about only to find that the church doesn’t have what they need to heal their hearts. They couldn’t find the Jesus that they had heard about. Many people think church is just a building. Maybe we need to redefine church.
Ephesians 1:18-23 "I pray that the eyes of your heart be enlightened, in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength… 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way."
As individuals we are the light of the world but together we are the fullness of Jesus. We can do as much good as Jesus did because he has given us the Holy Spirit.
In John chapter 6 we read about when Jesus fed five thousand people with only a few loaves and fishes. There was a need. The people were hungry. Jesus knew what he was going to do but he asked his disciples what they were going to do about it. They thought it would be impossible to feed so many. But Jesus took what was available and performed a miracle.
God asks us to solve the world’s problems but he is right there to help us with what little we have. If you offer what you have to God, he will take that and perform a miracle. When we come together and give whatever we have to give, lives will start to change. The body of Christ can make a huge impact on the world.
2 Corinthians 8:2-5 "In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own. They urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.”
When God touches your heart it always results in giving.
Stop attending church. Be the church.
