The message that started it all

I was going through my sermon archive this morning. I have said before that it was through the partnership with my friend, Justin Humes, that I came to start this ministry to the body of One anothering.

To see the full scope of our desire to see God's work done in the hearts and lives of His people, we must commit our lives to the Lord's work. We have no business excusing ourselves for not living each day for the glory of God. We all fail at times, but our failures should not cause us to feel defeated, but to cause us to rely on the Lord more and more each day.

Take the time to listen to this heartfelt message by Justin Humes. Take to heart the urging from the Scripture to not just know what was done in the first century church, but to practice the principles each day that come from an earnest desire to glorify God, to love and edify one another as we work together being built and grown into the fullness of the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ.

This message helped me see that I was not doing enough, that I must not surrender some, but ALL. Have we really given God the OK to change ANYTHING He wants in our lives, our meetings. Sometimes it starts with repentance, but wherever it starts, it must start today. Don't wait another moment, commit today. Surrender to living as the body of Christ and stop making excuses for how far the church has strayed from how it was in the beginning.
