Edgar Thomas THE
HOUSEHOLD OF GOD EPH. 2:19 "Now
therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints and OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD" THANK
GOD, THIS IS A HOUSEHOLD OF A LARGE, AND A LASTING FAMILY......... THE FAMILY OF GOD THE BUILDER (vs 10) "Created in Christ" Christ is building His Church from those in past: A. WHO WERE DEAD (Verse one) B. WHO WERE DEFILED (Verse three) C. WHO WERE DEMON-POSSESSED (Verse two) THE BURDEN OF THE BUILDER (Verses 13 & 14) A. THE COST (Vs 13) "Blood of Christ" B. THE COMPANY He had to keep…Even His own were failing, falling and with faults. C. THE CONSTRUCTION… (Vs 14-18) THE
BLESSINGS OF THE BUILDER A. THE FOUNDATION (Vs 20) We are in the same family with the Apostles and Saints of old. With the Foundation Jesus Christ. B. THE INTEGRATION (Vs 19) We are fellow-citizens with the Saints. C. THE MOTIVATION (Vs 5) "By Grace" D. THE UNIFICATION (Vs 21) "Fitly framed together…If a person does not fit in the church, they must not have been placed there by God. E. THE DESTINATION (Vs 7) "That in ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His Grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" WHEN
THE CHURCH HAS EVERY MEMBER IN ITS RIGHT PLACE EVERYTHING WILL MOVE FORWARD AND
NOTHING |
