Christian Basics Series – Part 4: “Belonging.”
You are invited to join with Calvary Chapel Secret Harbour this Sunday evening from 6.00 p.m. for Part 4 of our series titled “Christian Basics”. This week the message is called ‘Belonging’.
When Christ saved us He not only united us with the Holy and Righteous Father, He also brought us into a relationship with the family of God. This means that not only do we have a Heavenly Father, but we have brothers and sisters in the Lord. We’re not an only child. We exist as a part of a family of believers who are all co-heirs with Christ. Consequently, this means that we belong to a group of people called the church. We are all members of the invisible church of God, every believer in time and place (1 Peter 2:9-10), and we are all members of the visible church of God in a local setting.
This week we will conclude our series by studying Romans 12. In this, we learn how the local church is God’s special provision for discovering and exercising spiritual gifts, and for praising God. Guidelines are provided to help the individual determine their God-given role in the local church and to fulfil that role to God’s glory so that the Church may be built up.
See you on Sunday the 20th of August from 6.00 p.m. for worship and study in God’s word.
