The Church Of The Methodist Church

I can have a quick sense of accomplishment, whether or not I've accomplished what the Lord desires. While I intellectually agree that I cannot do anything without the power of Christ, and while I acknowledge that His power is released through believing prayer, I pray very inconsistently, especially about the ministry itself. I pray under the pressure of no other option. When all the best advice of leadership books and seminary classes have not worked, then I pour out my heart in prayer, see good results, but soon forget the way they were granted. When conflicts arise in the church and my best counseling skills give no relief, I pray, and God answers.

God made me exactly as He saw fit to create me, so why would I want to change His vision He has for me? I am not an overly outgoing person, and trying to act like an extrovert has only made me more frustrated and seemingly less effective when it came to spreading my faith. Instead of trying to keep up with the world’s view of what an Evangelical Christian should look like, I find myself being drawn to becoming more faithful to God’s custom idea of how I should be living my life and how I should evangelize with others. God designed me in a special way to know that if I kept trying to share God’s word with others like someone else, my message would become lost in the chaos. Evangelism is truly a team effort, so if I remember that not only do I have God on my side, but that I have the entire community support behind me.

He called people to worships one almighty god and would always emphasize his humanity so people would not worship the wrong thing or person. With this Mohammed always wanted to be referred as “the Messenger of God and His slave”. He was chosen to be God’s final messenger and be a living example of the message. Muslims main purpose is to strive to follow the example of Mohammed but to reiterate they do not worship him at all. Jesus has some similarities where his follower strives to be much more like him everyday, but they know that they are not perfect.

Some of those roles were being a place of worship, a place where people can go and hear the word of God, a place where all the sacraments can occur, a place that bears the cross and a place that gives meaning, purpose and ethics to the world. Without the church, people wouldn’t have a place to worship or a place to learn more about Jesus and the word of God. The church is essential for modern world today because in a world filled with chaos it’s always good to have a place that’s calm and that you can feel the presence of God. Going to church can help remind people that God is still here, even when they feel abandon. People can witness God’s presence and grace through the scriptures and through the

Then we start talking about the church services and Christianity in particular. The mission of CCML was knowing, growing and loving. They seek to live out our mission by worshipping together as a local community of believers, growing in spiritual maturity through discipleship, education, and small groups, caring for one another within the context of the larger church body and small groups, and Communicating the love of Christ to our world, both through local outreach and global mis... ... middle of paper ... ...in Islam singing never been a part of a ritual practice. That church was different than any other worshiping places I have visited before. I was very happy after this experience, because they still send me emails, mails, and thank you cards every Sunday.

Jesus is the only way to God. Through Jesus we can accomplish everything that is going to be for our own good. This might just be difficult to understand for a person who was never introduced to God before or who came from a different worldview. Despite this God teaches us to love one another no matter our differences. The fear of God is essential for a Christian because this will prevent him or her from harming others.

God also asks all of his followers to forgive other because he has forgiven them. With the immense amount of grace that He has it’s hard to not obey him. God has so much power and is so strong that Christians are to obey him and his will. Christians fear the Lord not out of sacredness but instead out of awe of his almighty power and mercy. Although forgiving for selfish reasons do have benefits, it isn’t the right way to approach the situation of forgiveness.

After camp, I decided to make a change for Christ and have been persistently seeking His kingdom. I have seen a true change in myself and the world around me ever since that day at FCA camp. My faith in Jesus Christ has had its fair share of ups and downs. Growing up in the church, I have never truly had a “life before Christ” like so many others have testified about; however, I have endured some life changing and faith altering situations. My faith has been heavily influenced by my family, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and most of all, by me.

The answer was even if one has nothing and can not stand on your own have faith in God and He will prevail. Job’s story gave individuals hope, because even if God was angry with the group one might be saved if he lived right and had faith. The story summed up the tenacious attitude of Jacob, the curiosity of Moses, the downtrodden sprit of Elijah and the humility of Isaiah.
