Week 10: Be the church you want to see
Like this (James) - South Perth
As James finishes his letter of encouragement to those struggling and suffering as they follow Jesus, he unloads a series of encouragements. Nine in all, some of them deep personal work that plays out in within community, some deep corporate works that spills out all over the shop. The thread that underlies each is this: to see the church that Jesus sees, we must be the church we want to see. Fuelled by the Holy Spirit and with the courage and strength that can only be found in him, we sink ourselves into patterns that are sometimes awkward, often beautiful. This is what stirs James’ prayer of faith and his desire that we would be continually driven to carry everything to God in prayer.
