* 5 GREAT IMPACT OF THE CHURCH ON
FOLLOWING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( I Corinthians 11: 1 ) Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of
Christ.
* IMPACT means- Strike forcefully.
1. THERE IS AN IMPACT ON THE LIFE OF
CHRIST.
( I Peter 2:21 ) For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps:
a. God gave the Christians the
example to follow in their daily Christian life.
2. THERE IS AN IMPACT ON THE LOVE OF
CHRIST FOR ALL SINNERS.
( Mathew 9: 36 ) But when he saw the multitudes, he
was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
a. We need heart of the Lord Jesus
Christ in order to have burden for lost people.
( Psalms 126:5-6 ) 5 They that sow in tears shall reap
in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
3. THERE IS AN IMPACT LIGHT OF CHRIST
IN THE COMMUNITY.
( John 1: 4 & 8 ) 4 In him was life; and the life was
the light of men.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light.
a. Christ is seriously commanding us
to let your light so shine before men.
( Mathew 5:16 ) Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
4. THERE IS AN IMPACT ON LOOKING ON
CHRIST FOR GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS.
( John 4:35 ) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for
they are white already to harvest.
* God gave the Church the vission for
soulwinning. If the Church have no vission the people perish.
( Proverbs 29:18 )Where there is no vision, the people
perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
5. THERE IS AN IMPACT ON LEARNING
FROM CHRIST ON RIGTHEOUS WALK OF THE CHRISTIAN.
( Ephesians 4: 20-27 )20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by
him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with
his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
* CONCLUSION:
* THE CHURCH THAT FOLLOW THE STEP OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ARE WITH STRONG IMPACT TO THEIR COMMUNITY. BIG AMEN &
AMEN!!!
( Acts 4:13 ) 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they
took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
* God bless you all always *
