Called To Be Church 3
The call on most of us is mission ministry. Our call is to expand the Kingdom. Our call is to take this message of Jesus everywhere, to follow Him wherever He leads, bear His Spirit wherever we are, and be His representative and be His body on the earth at all times. Everyone has a roll in the ministry of God.

The Liberation of the Sinner (Romans 8:2)
Apart from the Spirit, our experience with the law is governed by our sin. Even though we may agree with the law in our minds, our slavery and bondage to sin causes us to disobey the law -- and in fact, sin allows itself to be incited by the law to greater disobedience, leading only to death. However, as those who are in Christ, we have the Holy Spirit at work in us, giving us life and empowering us to overcome sin. The Spirit sets us free from any power other than Christ that would rule over us. Unlike the unbeliever in Romans 7, the Christian is never said to be wretched; instead, the Christian is said to be a new creation, an overcomer, one who is free and victorious. As believers, the reason that we sin is not because we are still in bondage to sin; the reason we sin is because we refuse to walk in and find our strength in the Spirit. We will walk in victory as we walk in the Spirit.

Called To Be Church 2
Every Christian has a spiritual gift. The purpose of these gifts is not private advantage, but community growth. After Paul established that all Christians are part of one body (which is, in fact, Christ’s body) and that this body has a variety of parts, Paul makes two points. There is a variety of gifts and each gift is vital, regardless of its nature.

A Healthy Church...is a Community (Pt. 1)
The Gospel creates the new community of the people of God. In the first-century, we see a picture of what that community looks like as formed by this Gospel. Is it just a recollection of the community then, or a model for our community today?

The "State" of the Church
Luke offers us the "state" of the individual believer and the corporate church and those unique qualities that resulted in consistent growth spiritually. As we read and assimilate this information, we realize that Luke is presenting us with a pattern for ministry that was designed to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ until He comes again.
