“A Servant of the Gospel” (Eph. 3:1-13)
The gospel was proclaimed to churches and reached us because of the cost of so many lives of God’s saints. For me to hear the gospel, how many Christians who went before me had to face hardships to remain in faith and paid the cost to share this gospel with others in the last 2000 years. The gospel is at the cost of Jesus’ life. And in order to reach the gospel to us, the cost of so many lives of God’s saints were paid. We received such a precious gift. Do we treat it as such a precious gift? Are we faithful for the gospel? We must be a servants of the gospel. Read more.... For LifeNet groups and personal reflection: 1) How does Paul’ life show the grace of God? And what changes can you see in Paul’s belief or perspective? How did the changes affect his life? 2) Do you have any experience where God revealed himself to you, or God spoke to you? What was the experience? What was your first reaction/response? How did it affect your life? 3) Through Paul’ life, what can you learn about the power of the gospel? How did the power work in his life? What was the key to release the power through him? 4) Can you recognize that the power of the gospel is working in and through you? What may hinder the power from being active? What is our responsibility in order to keep the power being active? NLIF is an international church in Yangon. Come and join our English Sunday worship service.

Consequently, we are members of God's household, no longer foreigners and aliens. We used to be aliens, but now we are members of God’s family. We are now citizens of God’s kingdom. We are added into God’s family as its official members. The community of God’s family is joined together with Christ’s love and peace. This is the reality of God’s kingdom. Church is realizing the fullness of God and testifying it in the world (Eph. 1:23). This is what it means to be placed in this world as a holy temple. It cannot be invented by human effort. It is constructed by God, connected by Christ, and completed by the Holy Spirit. Read more… For LifeNet groups and personal reflection: 1) The fullness of God is illustrated in a building. Take time to image: You are a part of it by Christ. What kind of picture do you see? What does God speak to you? What does he minister in you? What is your response? 2) Why do we lose our trust in God sometimes? What will you to build up your trust in him stronger and stronger? 3) Have you thought that God is mad you? Why did you think so? What was the situation? Listen to the conversation between Jesus and Peter (John 21:15-17). What does the Lord speak to you? Why is the fellowship with Jesus so important?
