The Good and Beautiful Community - Part 8 Revelation 1:12-20
Transcript of The Worshipping Community
Revelation 2:3-‐5 -‐ I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you: that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

FALSE NARRATIVES
FALSE NARRATIVES !
Proverbs 14:12 -‐ There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. !
FALSE NARRATIVES !
Matthew 7:13: “Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
FALSE NARRATIVES !
1. Humans are defined by their work
TRUE NARRATIVE !
1. Humans are defined by their relationship with Jesus.
“In our own contemporary context of the rat race of anxiety, the celebration of Sabbath is an act of resistance. It is resistance because it is a visible insistence that our lives are not defined by the production and consumption of commodity goods. Such an act of resistance requires enormous intentionality and communal reinforcement amid the barrage of seductive pressures from the insatiable insistences of the market.”
FALSE NARRATIVES !
1. My life is defined by my work. 2. My life is defined by me.
FALSE NARRATIVES !
1. “Worship is a personal, private matter between each individual and God.”
FALSE NARRATIVES !
1. “Worship is a personal, private matter between myself and God.” 2. “Worship is where my spiritual interests and preferences are the priority”
TRUE NARRATIVE !
1. I am are defined by my relationship with Jesus. 2. I am defined by my relationship to the community of believers
I Peter 2:9 -‐ You are a Chosen People, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a People belonging to God that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Perhaps you getting something out of the service is not quite as important as what your presence gives the rest of us.
FALSE NARRATIVES !
1. My life is defined by my work. 2. My life is defined by me.
TRUE NARRATIVE !
1. I am are defined by my relationship with Jesus. 2. I am defined by my relationship to the community of believers
