THE CHURCH IS A TEAM

And it is a team that MUST work together to accomplish all that Jesus has for it.

Unfortunately, the church often does not work as a team.

Pastors tend to think that all of the ministry through the church should be done by the church members. Church members tend to think that all of the ministry of the church should be done by the pastor.

Meanwhile, the lost non-Christians are the ones outside the church who are being harassed by the storms of satan and need ministered to.

The true picture of MINISTRY is that it is done by a TEAM-- church leaders AND church members.

Not either/or, but both/and; BOTH church leaders AND church members. This is what the Bible says,

"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of ministry, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13)

For the church to do ALL that Christ has for it AND to reach the lost world, it MUST function as a T-E-A-M:

T - Together
E - Everyone
A - Achieves
M - More

Teams always achieve more than individuals, because teams are made up of many individuals with many gifts and many strengths that make up for our many weaknesses.

Every good team needs good leaders. Not to sit back and bark their own orders, but to rise up and follow The King's orders so that they can help others do the same.

The church is a TEAM, and we MUST work together.

Keep Thinking!

Kapag pagod kana, pwede ka namang magpahinga na hindi susuko. Kapatid, Look up to Jesus🙏
Kapag sobrang sakit na iiyak mo kay Lord.
Minsan kasi hindi naiintindihan ng iba yung nararamdaman mo.
Hindi nila Alam yung totoong kwento.
Pero alam mo si Lord, alam niya yung pinagdadaanan mo ngayon.
Siguro way Niya lang yang pagsubok o problema mo ngayon para mas lalo kang mapalapit sa kanya.
para mas maging matibay pa yung faith mo sa kanya.
Para marealize mong andyan sya para damayan ka.

"I will supply all your needs."-God

Our God is the God who answers prayers. Iyan ang naranasan ng mga patuloy na nagtitiwala nang buong puso sa Panginoon. Huwag kang sumuko dahil nakikita ng Diyos ang sitwasyon mo. Magtiwala ka lang.

Hahanapin ninyo ako at matatagpuan kapag hinanap ninyo ako nang inyong buong puso.
JEREMIAS 29:13

Kapag gulong-gulo ang isip ko, inaaliw nʼyo ako at akoʼy sumasaya.
Salmo 94:19 ASND

Tuwing naaalala ko kayo, nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios, at palagi akong masaya sa tuwing nananalangin ako para sa inyong lahat; dahil mula pa nang sumampalataya kayo hanggang ngayon ay katulong ko na kayo sa pagpapalaganap ng Magandang Balita.
Filipos 1:3‭-‬5 ASND

Sa oras na down na down kana. Isipin mong nandiyan ang Diyos para tulungan ka.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.”

Ang bunga ng Mabuting Balita sa buhay ng mga mananampalataya ay ang pagtalikod sa masamang gawa tungo sa mabuting gawa.

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come” (2 Cor. 5:17). Hindi perpekto, kundi may nakikita o ebidensiya ng tunay na pagbabago.

“It is not easy to pastor a church. You do not punch a clock; yet you are always on duty. You must be careful to practice what you preach; you must be the same man in and out of the pulpit. Hypocrisy in speech or conduct will ruin a man’s ministry. No pastor is perfect, just as no church member is perfect; but he must strive to be the best example possible. A church will never rise any higher than its leadership.”

Mas makikita ang totoong ugali mo sa loob ng tahanan, hindi sa loob ng simbahan.

Lord God, marami po sa amin ang hindi makatulog nang mahimbing sa gabi dahil sa pag-o-overthink. Puno ng problems, worries, and fears ang aming isipan. Ngunit salamat, Lord, sa paalala na ang tunay na kapayapaan ay mahahanap namin sa Inyo. Nais naming ipagkatiwala sa Inyo ang lahat ng aming mga pagsubok at problema. Kayo na po ang magbigay ng perfect peace sa aming isipan. Sa pangalan ni Jesus, amen.

Magpaalalahanan kayo araw-araw habang may panahon pa, para walang sinuman sa inyo ang madaya ng kasalanan na nagpapatigas sa puso nʼyo .
Hebreo 3:13 ASND

Kahit anong pangyayari,
pangit man o maganda,
huwag kang bibitaw sa Diyos, dahil maging Siya, hindi ka niya bibitawan.
