Together for the Gospel
What our calling is
Being unified as the church
Paul urges us to walk in a manner worthy of our calling
What is our calling?
Jesus is telling us that we don’t belong here
the passions and desires of this world are contrary to the kingdom of God
Mark of a Christian; do you look like the world or do you stand apart from it?
This is our calling to be in the world but not of it
What does this have to do with us being together for the Gospel?
Need to understand what our calling is in order to walk along side and do ministry with others
Ephesians 4:4-
Discord and division become no Christian.
For wolves to worry the lambs, is no wonder; but for one lamb to worry another, this is unnatural and monstrous.
THOMAS BROOKS
Paul is bringing into unity the church of God
to understand what they are proclaiming
to remove confusion
to realign the focus not on petty differences but the main goal of the Cross of Jesus Christ!
How is this accomplished?
He gives us teachers
He gives us teachers
serve two roles
To equip for the work of ministry
To help protect from the false doctrine
Calls us into a new life - Next weeks lesson
We are all students for the rest of our lives
We need guidance from someone else to understand, to make wise decisions, and to lead to fullest life possible
True in every aspect of life
We learn and we pass on
My job
to teach you and prepare you for adulthood through the lenses of Christ
to train you up to be active members of God’s church
to give you the tools and equip you in the best way possible to flourish in Christ
Counseling former students, now seeing them in roles to counsel others and direct them back to Christ
THOMAS BROOKS
Second Task - protect from false doctrine
Ephesians 4:14-15
We each face difficult topics in this life
no matter what the subject we can find God’s plan and design for human flourishing
Finances?
Marital relationship?
Dating relationship?
Family and Friend relationships?
Work?
School?
Drugs and Alcohol?
Etc.
Pastors role is to give guidance to a life led by Christ
at this age you are at one of your most impressionable stages of life
No one is following their “own thing”
We fall into a group - we try to identify with people of similar interest and
we are tossed to and fro by waves of philosophy, our friends, media, etc.
Jesus promises us that those who follow Him will have difficulties
Our hope lies in Him as He has overcome the world
This doesn’t mean we understand everything
We trust God because He is infinite we are finite
Show Pastor Glyn Barrett video
In order for the church or any part of human existence to flourish we need teachers
for instruction
for correction
for encouragement
Each one of us are teachers and students all the time
someone looks up to you as you look up to someone else
Age does not hinder you
Your ability does not hinder you
What hinders us is us
seeing that a pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
Will you begin to unload your burdens on your brothers and sisters in Christ?
What would begin to happen if we as church, as a youth group, were unified in our love and care for one another?
How changed could our schools become and the towns we live in?
What would happen if we quit being slaves to fear?
