Open Church - Week 2
|
|
Greetings fellow Steemians.
Welcome to Week 2 of Open Church
Open Church is an initiative by @majes, @nextgen622 and the Christian trail community on Steemit. It aims to be a place where Christians on Steemit can hang out, encourage and build up one another, and reflect the love of Christ. The church is not a building, but is made up of people who have been transformed by God's grace.
Steemit is not all about money, but it's also a community of real people with real needs. So let us be a community of brothers and sisters that can Truly support one another with our real lives. Hope we can put aside the money element of Steemit and enter into authentic fellowship with one another.
Each week we will be putting up a new post with a new topic or theme for discussion. But feel free to come here just to fellowship and be a blessing to one another. Whatever denominational background your from, or if you're just curious about the Christian faith, everyone is welcome.
So feel free to share a link to your favourite worship song, share a word of encouragement, a prayer request, or introduce yourself. But please do not promote any posts here, or get into any arguments here.
Today's theme is share a scripture that has transformed you in some way or share a short testimony of God's work in your life
Be Blessed.
I really like the opening of Hebrews:
It helps me remember that no matter what other people say about God, it truth He looks like Jesus!
Love that verse. Thanks for sharing.
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Rev. 21:4 - the hope that has sustained me all these many years.
Amen. What awesome promises from God, giving us hope in the midst of all our sufferings.
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)
Amen!
I am reminded that it is the God of heaven and earth that I serve and it is His pleasure I serve for. All the laughing, jeering, and mocking will one day cease as every knee bends before Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Philipians 2:6-8
Who, being in very naturea God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very natureb of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
He died for me.
My favorite has always been Galatians 6:10
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
God Bless you all..
Great one!
Romans 8:28. We know that in all things God works together for the food of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
This is my life verse. No matter where life lead me, I knew that as long as I trusted and obeyed Him, everything would turn out for my good. That didn't mean that I would get out of a particular situation I put myself in, but I would grow to be more like Jesus through it.
"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 The world would be a better place if more people could live their lives this way. Peace
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” - 1 John 1:7
Blessings.
Psalm 73:25-26New International Version (NIV)
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
There is a Chinese worship song based on this Psalm:
Yes I love that song. Use to sing it all the time.
Amen. Love this passage.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Amen.
