Old Time Religion... The People

Do you remember the old Children’s rhyme about the church, formed by your fingers? As you hold fingers together then turn them “inside out,” you say, “Here is the church, and here is the steeple, open the doors and here are the people.” 

 

The point of that children’s rhyme is to talk about the people, isn’t it? Because kids have to be taught that even though a building is nice and useful, when it comes to the church, it’s all about the people!

  

God’s people – formed into the Church by the Spirit of God, are God’s way of changing our world.  Jesus spoke of this process in his teaching ministry to the disciples:  Matthew 16:13-19

 

Here are a couple of ideas Jesus gave his disciples that day:

1. The Church is based upon Jesus, and his work on the cross
2. The church is God’s way of overcoming the evil of this world

 

God’s people are The Church!  He calls us and shapes us, and equips us to work for His Kingdom on earth.
