Today we begin our new series by going through the book of James. This series's idea is how do we live out our faith and God’s call when everyone is watching us.
Everyone has had different experiences in church. Some come to faith earlier in life and some later in life. Some of you attended church as a child, but you walked away from your faith and returned later. Some of you might still be working your way back as you read this.
Today we are concluding our series of posts about sharing your faith. We have been discussing individuals involved with the story of Jesus going to the cross. Today we will be looking at sharing our faith with people that have Identity Issues. We will approach this through the lens of Mary Magdalene.
Today we are continuing to look at how to share our faith with people. In our study, we are looking at individuals involved with the story of Jesus going to the cross. The thing to note is that each of these individuals is to be invited to the Table to have proximity with Jesus. In this post, we are looking at someone who needs to be invited to the table because they are going through emotional pain., Mary the Mother of Jesus.
Each and every gift that God has given to us is for the purpose of edifying the church and bringing glory to God. We see in Ephesians 4:11-16 that Christ gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up (to be edified) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
If we are attempting to edify the church, we are attempting to instruct or improve the church.
