The Church and God’s Redemptive Purpose 教会和神的救赎目的

Content: What role does the church have in this great agenda of God’s? Read Ephesians 1:22-23 (Small Groups) When you read this, listen for something that just doesn’t seem right. These verses say some very important truths, but they also present some questions. Discussion Paul says that God puts all things under the feet of Christ. He also says that the Church is the fullness of Christ. Do you have a problem with either of these statements? When you look at the church in your nation, do you see the fullness of Christ? He also says that God put everything under Christ for the church. As broken as the church is why would He do this? Last Updated 7/07

Content: Read the Ephesians 3:17b-19 What is fullness ? It is love Paul is praying that the Church would be filled with this love. But it is still difficult to see this love which is so high, so wide and so deep as being in the broken church that we observe. We may understand what Paul means by fullness but we still don’t understand how he can equate this kind of love with the Church. Fortunately, Paul, explains what he is saying in the next chapter.

Content: Read Ephesians 4:11-13 The 5-fold ministry for church leaders – they all have the same goal in their job descriptions. What is the goal of each job description? To equip people to serve Each one has the same end purpose – to equip people to serve It is only by equipping people to serve that the nature of God, His love, and His Kingdom is seen If the end result of teaching, preaching or evangelizing isn’t in service – those teaching, preaching, evangelizing, etc have not completed the goal of their responsibilities. In other words, Paul is telling us that three things happen – or a consequence of the Church that serves. First, the church moves from being divided to being unified. Unity does not come by theological agreement but by serving. Second, believers become mature. Maturity does not come through Bible knowledge, prayer and other religious activities alone. Paul tells us that Christian maturity comes as a consequence of service. Third, the Church serves, it expresses the love that is the fullness of Christ. How can the church be the fullness of Christ? It is through service. Works of service – the Church serves Adam was put in the garden to serve Jesus was a servant (Phil 2) Jesus came to serve (Matt 21) The Church is called to serve (Eph 4) When Paul equated the Church with the fullness of Christ, he was looking at the Church as it should be – a church that serves, and as a consequence expresses the love that is the fullness of Christ Illustration of church service in Columbia where leaders were being ordained. Question? Are we equally as careful to encourage the training and equipping of the people for the works of service? We will never see transformation as God intends it if only church leaders are ordained to serve. Last Updated 7/07

Content: It is through the church – His body – The human expression of God’s expansive love, that God will accomplish His cosmic purpose The Church is more important than any other group in society. If this is true, then we must work toward God’s goal by using His plan. We must equip the people to be intentionally involved in the restoration of all things. Pastors you are very, very important to this plan because you are the leaders of the institution God has ordained to carry out God’s plan. But unless you understand this plan, you will never be able to lead your people to participate in it. Illustrations 1.

Team #1 – The Church Team #2 – The Kingdom of Darkness Fans – Principalities and powers in heavenly places Both teams have brilliant coaches. We know the end score – but the church will score in this generation only as it carries out the game plan of its coach, Jesus. Will God’s end game be advanced in our generation? The church will score when she carries out God’s strategy – the strategy of service. The implications of this verse is staggering The end purpose of the Church is to equip the Church to serve – to show His love, to bring about His plan Last Updated 7/07

Why Not Today? 为何现在不能呢？ Paternalism 家长式作风 : a) Perspective of relative poverty of those being evangelized and discipled 对传福音和门训的对象有相对贫穷的看法 b) Weak teaching of stewardship 如何做神管家的教导不足 C) Institutional model of ministry not sustainable 事工的机构模式无法持久 Methodologies: Lecture Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: The sad history of paternalistic missions is another reason today’s church has as little impact as it does on the transformation of society. Three aspects of paternalism in the missions of the last 200 years are presented here. The people who were being served by the relatively more affluent Western missionaries were often seen as poor and unable to lift themselves out of their poverty without outside help Because the missionaries’ view of the poverty of those being evangelized and discipled, new Christians were sometimes not taught the biblical obligation of stewardship. As a result, many believers in the non West believe that they don’t have enough to give to God for the extension of His Kingdom. Many of the models for evangelism and discipleship were built from institutional bases (schools, hospitals, etc) that were not sustainable without outside resources. As a result, many non Western Christians think that the only way to bring transformation to their communities is with outside help. Last Updated 7/07

Unintentional Sin of God’s People Isaiah 58 神子民的无心的罪以赛亚书 58章
Role of the Church in Society - VC Lesson Trainer Notes Unintentional Sin of God’s People Isaiah 58 神子民的无心的罪以赛亚书 58章 “You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high.” 你们今日禁食，不得使你们的声音听闻于上 Key Verse: 4b 主题经节：4下半节 Methodologies: Discovery Bible Exploration Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: You cannot worship me as you are worshipping me and expect me to respond. Explain the context – Israel thought it was seeking God by going through religious activities. such as fasting, praying, and dressing in uncomfortable clothing.

Content: Read verses 6 – 7 God tells Israel (and us) that true worship comes as we demonstrate His love. This demonstration is at two levels. Vs 6 - Correcting systemic injustice – can only be done by policy makers Believers must be in these positions of influence to advocate for these changes Vs 7 - Every believer responding to serve – the general body of Christ. True worship is being an ambassador for shalom. When we worship God in the way that He asks, He will bring the healing we desire Vs 8-9a Last Updated 7/07

Content: In this third couplet, God lets Israel (and us) know that religious activity (honoring the Sabbath) is not wrong, but desired. But by implication of what goes before, it must come as a partner with the demonstration of His love. This chapter shows us how our healing (the transformation of our broken communities) comes. It is through true worship – a combination of the demonstration of His love to our neighbor, and what we often call prayer and praise. Last Updated 7/07

Irreducible Worship 最低程度的敬拜
Role of the Church in Society - VC Lesson Trainer Notes Irreducible Worship 最低程度的敬拜 “He did what was right and just. He defended the cause of the poor and needy…. Is that not what it means to know me? declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 22:15-16) “…你的父亲岂不是也吃、也喝，也施行公平和公义吗？那时他得了福乐。他为困苦和穷乏人伸冤，那时就得了福乐。认识我不在乎此吗？这是耶和华说的” (耶利米书 22:15-16) “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8) “世人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善。祂向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行” (弥迦书 6:8) Methodologies: Discovery Bible Exploration Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: We see the concept of irreducible worship reflected in James 1:27 – pure and perfect religion – to care for orphans and widows There are many other things that we do – that aren’t bad * Memorize Scripture * Have daily devotions Live a pure life * Other examples Yet, this is not the true worship God longs for. This true worship is stated in other words in Micah 6:8 (Read aloud together) Last Updated 7/07

Content: Do you think that Israel in Isaiah 58 was aware of its giving God unacceptable worship? Probably not, but it was sin nevertheless. When we don’t worship God with true worship, we are sinning because we are not obeying His command to love. Fortunately God provides a solution to this unintentional sin at three levels – the community, leaders, and the people. Last Updated 7/07

Emphasize the critical importance of bringing application to what is being learned. The heart of a child that is asked to obey, but does not and nothing happens – child’s heart becomes hardened to the request of the parent. What happens when you preach and the people in your church don’t apply what you are teaching? Their hearts are hardened to truth. It is so critical that we bring our church members to application of what is being learned. Last Updated 7/07
