CH 1: A Community of Disciples

Journal WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST MEMORY OF “CHURCH”? Who was involved? How did you feel?

Prayer Journal Why did Jesus establish His Church?

1 Corr1inthians 12: 12-31 Read together and act out parts. What happens to your body when one part is injured? Why do you need so many parts of the body?

Christ is the HEAD of the Church; We are its members ONE BODY

The Bride of Christ

A bride and groom are: Faithful Fruitful Total True Unitive

Temple of the Holy Spirit Church is the TEMPLE Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit Jesus is the corner stone We are the living stones of the Temple

The Sheepfold (John 10:1-16) Jesus is the Good Shepherd His kingdom is the sheepfold He lays his life down for his sheep

The Vine and the Branches What happens to a branch after you cut it from the vine? Jesus is the VINE. We are the branches Through Jesus, the vine, we live and grow Healthy branches grow and bear fruit

Leaven (Matt. 13:33) Yeast – makes dough rise Moves slowly but surely WE are the leaven and Jesus spreads his Kingdom through us https://youtu.be/RA3hc4P3qe8 Jesus exaggerates “three measures of wheat flour” – enough to feed 100 people!

Mary – BEST image of the Church First disciple who followed Jesus Mother of Jesus – Mother of the Mystical Body of Christ John 19:27: “Behold, your mother.” Jesus gave Mary to the Church at the foot of the cross Perfect follower – our model: HUMILITY OBEDIENCE LOVE COMPASSION

Holy Spirit: Sanctifier Breath of God (inspire) The HOLY SPIRIT shapes and guides the Church today Builds, animates, and sanctifies the Church SANCTIFY – (glossary) – to make holy, set apart

Holy Spirit is the DIVINE presence
