There Is No Perfect Church

Good Morning

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2

Worship Song: If Not for Grace

 


Meditation:

    The famous minister Charles H. Spurgeon once said, "The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it". Your own imperfections, upon joining, would "spoil" the already imperfect church. The church is like a hospital, it embraces people with diverse spiritual needs, providing a sanctuary where everyone can find the healing, deliverance, and breakthrough they seek. The church serves as a means for God to manifest His wisdom, grace, and truth to the world. 

    As a church, we must embrace Christ's teachings fully, instruct and guide each other wisely through psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, and offer our collective worship unto God with gratitude. Though the church is imperfect it must always demonstrate God's moral standards, rooted in Biblical principles and character, by living with spiritual integrity in every action and intention. 

    Do not be discouraged by imperfections within the church, as it is simply a reflection of the people who make it up. You will never find a perfect church anywhere on earth because the church is made up of imperfect people. Despite its flaws, Spurgeon considered the church the most beloved place on earth, a nursery for God's children and a fold for His sheep.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, we adore and exalt your holy name. We sincerely thank you, Almighty God, for choosing us as a royal priesthood out of darkness into your marvelous light. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we sing praises unto you, our King. Lord, we acknowledge our imperfections and understand that only by your divine grace can we be made perfect. Father, we seek your divine strength and mercy to guide and direct us on this spiritual journey. We embrace your teachings and gladly turn away from a life of self-will and sin toward one of obedience and commitment to you, Lord God. As believers and children of God, may our lives reflect the character of Christ as we demonstrate the transformative power of the Gospel. May the light of Christ radiate through us for the world to see and bring glory to your name through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌💖🙏

    [8/30, 11:26 AM] Mckoy Brown: Each individual is responsible for what dirt or trash they bring in with them. It is amazing to know how a little trash or dirt built up over time. Therefore every one have to examine themselves and seek cleansing. Perfection is gained by recognizing the need for cleansing each time and do so with the Lord's provision and overtime the Lord will determine that. God bless and keep us right with Him. 🙏🙏

Somebody Prayed

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 6:9-13 Worship song: Somebody Pray for Me   Meditation:      Prayer is an essential tool in the lives of every believer, which is a form of direct communication with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer, we seek divine help for seen and unforeseen troubles by appealing to God for guidance, protection, and strength. When we pray, we acknowledge our dependence on God and trust Him to change the situation we commit to Him. We are assured in Psalms 102:17 that God will regard the prayer of the destitute and not despise their prayer.      The prayers of those living righteously are heard and powerful and effective enough to bring about significant results. The word of God promises us in Matthew 21 that whatsoever we ask in prayer, believing, we shall receive. According to the scriptures, Hannah and Elizabeth prayed fervently to God about their barrenness. After many years of ceaseless prayer, God rem...

Why Don't You Try Jesus?

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 4:4-6 Worship song: Praise His Name   Meditation:      The social environment significantly influenced our development and how we deal with adversity. Whatever we are exposed to and whoever influences us can positively or negatively impact us. Our coping mechanism depends on our personal habits and the impact of the people we surround ourselves with. God does not govern our choices. He has given us the power to choose.       We must recognize when our decisions are harmful and have the wisdom to choose a different path. Redirection provides the essential and ultimate change for individuals who have been led astray and have pursued a destructive path. The adversary's plan is to keep us bound and distracted by worldly influences, but Jesus provides a pathway to liberation for all who call on his name. If you are uncomfortable and your choice is a burden, come and lay it all down, and Jesus will give y...

The Scapegoat Ritual

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Leviticus 16 Worship song: By His wounds   Meditation:      A scapegoat is a goat used in a biblical ritual, described in Leviticus, to achieve atonement and purification for the Israelites. On the Day of Atonement, the people's sins were symbolically transferred to the goat, which was then sent into the wilderness to carry their transgressions away. The ritual that was practice before Christ's sacrificial offering was the priest would lay both his hands upon the head of a live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and transgressions of the sins of the children of Israel, putting them upon the head of the goat, and then send it away by the hand of a competent man into the wilderness and release it in the wild.       Today, we are humbly invited into the presence of God's grace to confess our sins before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and it was for our tra...

Move Mountain

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 17:14-21 Worship song: Who Are You Great Mountain   Meditation:      The emotional story relating to a desperate father's concern for his son's well-being is a reminder that faith is not about evidence; it is believing and hoping for a favorable outcome despite uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated that faith is sustained by hope, not evidence. At Jesus' command, the tormenting spirit immediately departed, bringing an end to the boy's emotional suffering. The comforting message of Jesus reveals the power through faith to overcome obstacles that seem impossible. Jesus used a mountain as a metaphor to illustrate the insurmountable challenges we encounter.       With a faith anchored in God's power, like a tiny mustard seed, we can overcome the mountain-sized obstacles that disrupt our spiritual, physical, or emotional state. The lesson is not about the size of our faith, but that our victory depends on...
