Being Effective Christians In The Tulare Church

John 17:1-4 “1 Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that

they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.”

Being Effective Christians In The Tulare Church

I. In coming as light….

John 8:12-13 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 12:46-47 “46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.”

….Christ not only provided light but in doing so…

John 17:1-4 “1…Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that

they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.”

We seldom use the word Glory…

“4 I glorified you …” The Greek word “glory” (εοζασα) means to MAGNIFY.

II. Jesus’ Glorifying God was what he came to do!

Some if not most of us were not raised to think about God’s glory!

Do we as the Church have…….

Ephesians 3:10-11, “10…through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was

Ephesians 3:10-11, “10…through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was

according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,”

Before God created anything on earth those in THE HEAVENLY REALMS…

They WATCHED THE CHURCH UNFOLD, they saw the GLORY OF GOD!

III. What are some ways we magnify this manifold plan to the heavenly realm?

UNITY OR ONENESS --MEANS MORE THAN NOT ARGUING!

One of the greatest tragedies occurs when the parts of the body STOPS…

Includes: hard feelings

Includes: hard feelings not talking to the person we have misunderstanding…

Includes: hard feelings not talking to the person we have something against

Includes: hard feelings not talking to the person we have something against anonymous sniping

You every wonder what the Bible has some much to say about relationships?

You every wonder what the Bible has some much to say about relationships? With God! With Each Other!

2 Timothy 2:14 “14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.”

Titus 3:9 “9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.”

John 17:17-21 “7 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent

me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even

as you loved me.” If from INSIDE THE CHRUCH and OUTSIDE, IF people see us AS ONE there will be good things said…

ONENESS THROUGH SUBMISSION

Hebrews 13:17 “17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of

no advantage to you.”

Romans 8:7 “7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.”

Romans 10:3 “3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.”

1 Corinthians 16:15-16 “15 Now I urge you, brothers —you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the

be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.”

“21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:21 “21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

Submit

John 17:9-11 “9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am GLORIFIED IN THEM…….

So if we want to be effective as a Church… is glorified is clearly seen is magnified for all to see
