Ok, I realize this post is about 5 days late, but let me just say that last Sunday's sermon was incredible. Bruce is preaching through Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life.
Last Sunday we concentrated on the theme that 'you were created to be part of the body of Christ.'
So true. We were not created to live isolated lives, with our paths only crossing for an hour on Sunday mornings.
From the very beginning, the FXCC worship ministry has had I Cor 14:26 as it's theme verse...all of this (introducing new songs, mic'd singers, creative scripture readings, congregational readings, meet/greet, etc.) must be done for the strengthening of the church...the church overall, not you, not your family, not "the way you were raised"...the church that meets now at 3901 Rugby Road. What we do together in worship should build us up as a body. Our primary goal is to give glory to God, but if we're causing chaos in the body, our hearts have a hard time entering the throne room.
Thank you FXCC for being a great big wonderful diverse loving body of Christ. Let's continue to seek God together in worship, for His glory, with the thought of strengthening each other to perfect unity...not sameness, but unified in spirit.
We are the body of Christ!
