This sermon was short but really powerful! We are all self-centred. We tend to see more of our problems and our needs than others. Sometimes, it is easy for a person to just forget God's goodness and victory and just wallow in self-pity. We always want attention from God and we always try to seek more of His attention and wants God to attend to us. When are we really going to stand up and go forth and claim His victory? I admit that sometimes I live in His grace and not for His grace and for His glory. Being just comfortable and just happy to be in this state. I recognize that we are really the answer to the world and all we got to do is to just reach out and share to people. I am impacted by the verse in Ephesians. I have never seen the verse like this before, in this light. The verse says: The Church you see is not peripheral to the world; the word is peripheral to the church. The Church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence. The peripheral here refers to an addition. This word peripheral refers to something that can go without, to be part of something but as a component. This is awesome because Church is the body and the world is a component of the Church. But Church is the important, irreplaceable part that is absolutely necessary. We are that irreplaceable part and we need to start to be that irreplaceable part and claim that spot in the society!
