교회의 존재 이유

Jesus is the Christ. I pray that this grace will be fully restored.

There is time created by God, such as the family and the church.

God made man before the creation of the world, and took a rib from him and made woman. These are Adam and Hawaii.

Afterwards, Peter made the first tremendous confession in human history.

Rather than Peter doing it, he made this confession unconsciously, moved by the Bible.

Jesus said that He would build upon the confession of faith. He said that He would build the church upon the rock, and the gates of Hades would not be able to come upon it.

The family and clan are the optimal institutions for fulfilling God's timetable.

Because it is such a key institution, many people are trying to bring it down.

Above all, Satan constantly deceives families and churches so that they do not realize the essence that God has hidden.

Today's scripture passage is a message that gives spiritual instruction.

It is to help you realize the spiritual essence.

Matthew Chapter 21, which we are going to read, is about the last week Jesus spent.

The last message was about Jesus visiting Jerusalem.

You visited the Jerusalem Church,

The reason Jesus visited the Jerusalem Temple was because the essence of the temple had been forgotten.

This is because it was not performing that function properly.

I believe that the essence and reason of the church is to carry out the gospel.

God has entrusted the gospel to the church.

Society and ethics can be practiced just as much outside.

Only the church can carry the gospel.

It is no exaggeration to say that the church was able to come into this world thanks to the work Jesus did.

Some theologians say that the church has become a retail store tailored to consumer tastes.

In a way, faith has been reduced to a mere commodity.

The church has an essence and a function entrusted to it, but as this was neglected, it became a church that merely strives to meet the tastes of consumers.

Simply put, it means listening only to what I want to hear.

I do not fully understand the intention of the words hidden within them.

Jesus is the Christ. This fundamental gospel message is gradually disappearing from the pulpit.

Moral and ethical messages are dominating the pulpit.

This is exactly what a religious church looks like.

Such an appearance can move the saints.

However, if the gospel is not conveyed, the saints will not be able to understand the gospel.

The purpose of preaching is that when the message is proclaimed, people are saved.

You end up returning without having your most urgent human problems resolved.

God established the Mission of the Nations Church in the meantime.

We believe that our church is a covenant church.

Please take pride and self-esteem in this.

God is giving you His Word to help you find the answer and understand how important the essence of the church is.

I hope you hold fast to today's word as a covenant and stand confidently in fulfilling it.

The first church is the church where all people pray.

In this scene, wasn't the reason Jesus came to this earth to forgive our sins and atone for us? To carry out that mission, the very first thing He did upon entering Jerusalem was to cleanse the temple.

If you look at the Gospel of Mark, he did not care at all about the cheers of the many people.

First, he went to the temple and looked around.

The very first thing Jesus did in the temple was completely overturn the seats of the money changers and dove sellers.

Jesus has not been this angry many times.

You need to understand the background of this text.

Now is the time for the people who were scattered to gather to observe the Passover.

At that time, offerings were necessary to perform ancestral rites. Animals had to be brought.

However, bringing animals over from a long distance is not easy.

It is not exactly easy to bring helpless animals as they are, but merchants began selling sacrificial animals in front of this temple.

One even had to pay an entrance fee to enter the temple. At that time, one had to use the currency used exclusively by the temple, so money changers even appeared in front of it.

However, all of this has been corrupted.

The priest of the temple who received kickbacks from these merchants allowed these merchants to sell.

The essential role of the church and the temple is disappearing.

It is no different from a robber, except that it does not carry a knife.

Jesus turned the whole scene upside down and severely rebuked them for making the temple of God into a den of thieves.

While rebuking, He mentioned the essential mission of the temple: "My house is a house of prayer for all nations."

It includes a missionary meaning of saving even Gentiles in the future.

What does it mean to pray? When it is a house of prayer for all nations, we pray there. Prayer is communicating with God, that is, the throne of heaven.

Therefore, the church is a place for communicating with God.

It is to continue communicating with God at every moment of worship.

Therefore, it is about seeing God's timetable for this era.

So, it is to communicate with God and continue to see God's plan.

And I believe that we must offer a covenant prayer through the word given from the pulpit.

This is the very shortcut that saves me, the path of blessing, and the shortcut to an answer.

Why did God build our church as the Missions of the Nations? Why did God change us into the Antioch Church?

In order to properly carry out evangelism and missions, the flow of the church's covenant must be manifested here.

Every single saint must enter this.

In fact, our church communicates with heaven during worship services.

I hope that our future generations will come to church and worship comfortably. I hope they can stay as if it were their own home and run around and play to their heart's content.

Although it may seem that the younger generation comes to church without listening to the Word or focusing, everyone is becoming a spiritual summit because our church communicates with the heavenly throne.

How do you raise future generations to be spiritual summits? Do you need good teachers? Do you need a garden for children?

We must determine whether we are the garden of children communicated with the throne, or the garden of 237.

This is because it is a huge difference.

The church is said to be a house of prayer for all people.

Therefore, we must close our mouths and communicate with God.

You must communicate with the heavenly throne.

A robber's den is possible outside the world, and even in a cafe.

Lately, the elder told me to fast, so I am fasting.

You told us to make the morning, noon, and evening the best times, so don't you focus to the fullest?

They also say to pray 24 hours a day.

So we are praying hard.

It is not important to pray diligently. What matters is the kind of prayer you pray diligently.

Therefore, our future generations are becoming spiritual summits. This is a clear fact.

I hope our church becomes the church where God communicates the most.

God's grace will come upon that individual and family.

Who prays?

We must reach a complete conclusion in Christ alone.

The person who stays behind and intends to carry out a biblical evangelism movement to the very end—such a person must pray. That person's prayer is different.

I hope that you and I will enter deeply into prayer, communicating with the heavenly throne.

It is said that the reason for the church's existence is for all people to pray.

After Jesus cleansed the temple, there was something He did first.

He carried out a ministry of healing people suffering from various diseases.

The meaning of existence lies in healing myself, healing others, and restoring them.

In a word, it will become a healing summit for 237 countries.

Our lives, our ministry, and the significance of our church's existence are contained here.

Then, how should individuals help? They should enjoy benefits for 237 countries.

We must pray not to go to that site ourselves, but to go for the 237 countries.

Aren't you thankful? Meeting God is something to be very thankful for.

Ah, you need to know that I had no choice but to do that.

It is important to note that this was inevitable due to the spiritual state of having turned away from God.

You are bound to encounter such problems.

Once you meet God, there is no room for other reasons or problems.

That is precisely the Gospel alone. Is this really biased?

A different reason has arisen. It is the Gospel alone.

It is complete, sufficient, and magnificent. This is the spiritual state of the healed.

It is okay to have money, and it is okay not to have it. I am only the Gospel. This is the state of being healed.

We must find the answer solely through the Gospel.

Why do I have to come up with an answer?

Why must you be healed? It is because of the life of an evangelist.

You must live for the Kingdom of God.

We must live a life that expands the Kingdom of God on this earth.

The coming of the Kingdom of God means that darkness has ended.

I believe that this is true healing.

I hope all of God's children meet God and experience true healing.

What would the reality be like? You must view it through spiritual lenses.

What is it? It is the five foundations: Upper Room, Team Ministry, Branch Church, Specialized Church, and Mission Home.

A specialized church is one that spreads the gospel in the field based on one's profession.

A local church is one that shines a light in the region.

God will fulfill these five things to the extent that they are restored in the field.

Because the camp is light, it must be healed and restored.

In conclusion, it must be a church where a response is inevitable.

Sometimes when I see Remnants, they say that they will become Summits. However, you Remnants are already spiritual Summits.

When I say I am a spiritual summit, my thoughts and words change.

My mindset and attitude change, and my prayers, in particular, change. It becomes clear what needs to be done and how, and wherever I go, church work becomes a part of my life.

When our church truly aligns with God and devotes itself, miracles will come many times over.

I hope our church becomes a church that does not lose sight of the essence of the church through communion with the throne of heaven.

I hope that each and every one of you will be used and that we will become a spiritual church.

I hope this week is a week of the fulfillment of the Word.

Thank God.

Thank you for establishing our church as a house of prayer for all people.

Thank you for establishing a church that heals 237 nations and becomes a summit.

Please let our church continue to communicate with God and become a church that receives answers.

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
