The one who will lead the church
2 Timothy 2:1~7 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (1)
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #273 I’ve Wandered Far Away from God (#331 in previous version)
The church is waiting for the mature disciples who have the Gospel. The mature disciple must, of course, have the basics but he must always enter into the grace that is in Christ for that grace to be enjoyed naturally. Therefore, God has given us a command we must always follow. If we want to stand as the ones who are leading the church today, what must we remember and grab hold of as the covenant?
1. The message for world evangelization
We must stand in the forefront of the work that realistically fulfills the message for world evangelization. As we embrace the entirety of our future descendants, the field and the future, we must all become one upon this when the message comes out. If necessary, we must also stand in the forefront of the work that draws together the entire picture as one. We must become the main figures of world evangelization that has no choice but to take place.
2. The message for the church
We must stand in the forefront of the work of realistically fulfilling the Word that is proclaimed from the church pulpit. Therefore, we must lead all the believers so they can directly put into action the core content of the pulpit message. We must research how all the people can become one in the work of fulfilling the Word from the pulpit. Furthermore, we must stand in the forefront of helping important lay leaders in the church and the work of establishing regional churches. We must stand in the forefront of important work, like church construction. At this time, we can experience the church coming to life.
3. Discipleship movement
Now, we must stand in the forefront of the discipleship movement of connecting disciples with each other both inside and outside the church. For the sake of this work, we need a place where people who receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit can gather together. Furthermore, we must find our hidden ministry. We must find the work God has set apart for the sake of world evangelization. God has hidden the absolutely critical people for the sake of this work. People who correctly receive answers from God all possess three characteristics. First, they knew the future descendants who are the Remnants쪺. Second, they knew the adult generation. Third, they knew the role in the middle of connecting these different generations and ages. This is the role of the leader who will lead the church.
