Write This Down
Have you ever tried to picture what the perfect church would look like? Whatever picture you have in your head, the chances are, we currently fall short of that ideal. And I hate to break it to you, but there is a high probability that our church will never be picture perfect. However, this does not mean that all hope is lost. While we will never be a perfect church, we can still grow to become a healthy church.
In today’s sermon, we see that healthy churches read the Bible for God’s self revelation. Healthy Churches are God-centric in their Bible reading. Healthy Bible readers believe that God primarily wants to tell us about Himself. Therefore, we first seek God’s self revelation and then respond to Him with self-reflection and repentance.
