One Body - Week 1 - Pastor Stevan
• Series: One Body
Pastor Stevan addresses the church's role in a divided world. Following recent events that have highlighted human depravity and division, he reminds believers of their calling to be agents of peace, hope, and joy as the unified body of Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, Pastor Stevan explores Paul's metaphor of the church as Christ's body - uniquely diverse yet united by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that a healthy church body is marked by love, growth, and unity of purpose under Christ as the head. Pastor Stevan challenges the congregation to resist cultural pressures toward division and instead display Christ-like unity that stands out in an increasingly dark world. He encourages the church to embrace their identity as Christ's body, find their unique role within it, and join together on God's mission of redemption. This timely message reminds believers of their opportunity and responsibility to be a light in the darkness, reflecting God's love and truth as a unified body even amidst difficult times. It's a stirring call for the church to keep Christ at the center and be agents of his upside-down kingdom in a world desperately in need of hope.
