Both the church and the pastors of the Church's leadership. So Jesus is the owner of the church. Is he the one who is Building your church And I want to challenge our church to be a Church of Christ. Okay, Is there no denomination a Church of Christ open your Bible to Mark, Chapter Ten,.
Verse forty-four and forty-five, Pastor Hernandes is not here. I can pick up a topical sermon, otherwise it had to be expository, right? But I want to make a reflection for us a Church on this anniversary day. Mark Chapter ten forty-four, forty-five says this way: Let's go together and whoever wants to be the first among you will be the servant of all,.
For the Son of Man himself did not come to be served, but to serve and give your life. To the rescue for many, I want to meditate on the topic, serving like Jesus there was a dispute between the disciples as to who was the first. There was even an interference of nepotism. The aunt.
She's the aunt of Jesus, she asked For Jesus that when he established his kingdom And put one of her sons, as Civil House and the other as minister of economy, The two most important positions one will sit on your right and the other at to your left and Jesus says to her Don't you know what you're asking for? Because it is the father who places these positions in the kingdom. We are living brothers, a time of celebrity in the Church..
And we have to then as the Church of Christ, to fight to be like Jesus. Incidentally, God's plan for us is there in Romans. Chapter Eight It's just that we were predestined to be in the image of your child. More from your son draw your precious attention to what's there. In John's first letter in chapter three, When does João reflect.
Of what we are Of what we were And of what we will be And there in John Chapter Three he's going to say in verse two Please he's going to say so beloveds, Now what are we children of God? So if we are now, it's because before we weren't, we were children of wrath, but because of the great love that God has for us. We are saved and now.
In the present we are We are But take a good look at verse two that we are, but we will be, we know that when it is manifested we will be similar to him because we will see him as he is, So we weren't Now we are, but look at what we will be and will be like him.
If we will be like him. Because in God's plan, in the process of sanctification, we are all being conformed. The image of Jesus and C S News says that we are like little ones. Christ It is God's project, it is to conform us more and more to the likeness of Jesus. So I wanted to get your precious attention.
And for the text that we read, for the Son of Man himself did not come to be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. Here I would highlight a few some brands of Jesus as a servant. The first of them is that Jesus Christ knew who he was,.

Knew who he was. We all know
That Jesus He was The only person which had two natures. He had human nature, He had the divine nature he was truly God and he was truly man. And if there is one thing that is present in the Ministry of Jesus, it is precisely this constant reaffirmation on his part about his identity..It's not just the description of the biblical text, but it's the statements of Jesus Felipe says Jesus, show us the father and this is enough for us and Jesus answers Philip, I have been with you for so long. Whoever sees me sees the father, me and the father are one. So, what I want to tell you that I insisted on this morning, It's just that we need to have a concept biblical ecological, not historical, not national harm, but we have to have.
A vision of what we are in Christ. Jesus How did Jesus have this awareness Whose was he your identity. Sometimes we're talking about identity. Maintaining the identity of the Church is using historical arguments, religious, ritualistic.
What if you observe Paulo in the greatest Christological description we have in the Bible, said that Jesus Christ, being God, was not usurped to be equal to God. Before, he emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant. But not only that serves the obedient. He was obedient until de Cruz's death and death. So Jesus Christ, he knew who he was, knew and was aware of his identity..
The second thing that I think is very important about the Ministry of Jesus The thing is that he had also defined what his mission was. With the Church, we must be aware of what our mission is. We exist with a church. For what Jesus Christ? Please? There in João.
Chapter Seventeen he's going to make that clear I'm well defined John Chapter Seventeen Please, Take a quick look at verse four, What does he say I glorify you, Quei na Terra Completing the work you would entrust to me To do.
So Jesus, he had his conscience and his mission It was to die and he's going to put it there in Mateus, Chapter sixteen He had such a secure conscience Matthew Chapter Sixteen Please, after Peter's confession,.
He's going to say in verse twenty-one Let's see sixteen, twenty-one together. From that time Jesus Christ began to show his disciples, That he was what I needed to follow for Jerusalem to suffer many things from the elders, Of the chief priests of the scribes being killed and resurrected On the third day Peter being used here by Satan,.
Right? He said. Sir, don't do this, have compassion on yourself. And he answers Pedro Pedro. Get rid of what is Satan notice that in the Ministry of Jesus, all of Satan's attempts to begin in the Temptation Matthew, Chapter Four, was to remove Jesus from the focus of his mission, from the intentionality of his, of your of your of your mission. And he'll say it later, with a straight rest. Just as the father sent me, I also send you, means that we, as a Church, we have to continue the mission of God who sent..
Jesus Jesus does his work, pay the price of the Redemption and now give me and you the price of the proclamation.
We have to preach the Gospel of the kingdom to all nations and then turn the end around. So we with the church, Brothers, We have to repeat it every day and be aware every day every Sunday, we are here to fulfill the mission that God has given us. So, Jesus Did you know who? He was. Did Jesus know.What he had to do, knew and He came exclusively to do the will from the father. But for that to happen, so that he could carry out his mission, knowing who he was. He had to Have an attitude.
Of compassion, Of love and here, my beloved brothers. I think this is the Church's biggest problem. It's today There in João Chapter thirteen. He makes it clear to the disciples on his last night with his disciples. It washes The disciples' feet And it says verse fourteen of John thirteen.
Now, if I am the Lord and the Master, I washed your feet, you must also wash each other's feet. PS with fifteen give me because I gave you the example so that like I made you do it, voice as well. So Jesus doesn't teach theory, he teaches practice. He says If I did, you must do it. If I did. That's how you should do it. And he will say In verse thirty-five in this they will know all who are my disciples, if you have heartbreak with each other,.
I was reading, studying the Gospels, especially the Gospel of Matthew. And it's so interesting because, in the ministry of Jesus, when he spoke to his disciples, he talked a lot about love. No one has greater love than to lay down their lives for their friends. My commandment is that I loved one another, as I loved you. Love reference. But when it comes to the world, the emphasis in the Gospels on Jesus' ministerial motivation is the word compassion..
That word compassion is a very strong word, Why does it show That Jesus Christ identified with those who suffer by putting themselves in the place of those who suffer feeling the pain of the sufferer. That is why João, when registering in eleven, thirty-five, says Jesus wept and Jesus wept because he is a God who feels, who knows pain. He is sympathetic in his humanity, in his identification with us. He's a man of pain, who knows what it's like to go down..
So pay attention to A Church without love, without compassion. It has nothing to do with Jesus. And it's not brothers, eh strategic planning, no. The Bible says that we should love not by words, but by actions, actions. The Church We need to be a church where the love of Christ works in our relationships. We have to be a loving church, a church that loves, that supports, that respects,.
What console that cheers each other up. We have to be a full church, filled with the compassion of Christ for those who suffer for those who are lost. I showed it to you today the book of Jonah in the cult of the eleven, that our God is God, missionary, we are a bunch of Jonahs, which doesn't seem to be true. What the conversion of the other, meeting the need of the other,.
But our God is a missionary God, and God's mission is our mission! And God PRE destines the ends and the means, and no plan of God will fail because of our disobedience, By FA our God will do the work through us. None of God's plans can be thwarted If the Pinheiros Church doesn't understand this, God will use another church. God will use other people, but God's plans, all of them will be fulfilled..
God predestines the ends. But God also predestines the means. We are means for God to carry out his projects, his plans, siblings. The world needs to see in us how we love one another to the others, society, she wants it from the Church. Or she needs the Church, of compassion..
Seeing Jesus in the crowds sympathized with them, Because they were like afflicted sheep that I didn't have pastor Jesus. He served and the motivation for his service, for his ministry, Of the dedication of his life was a love for the Church and compassion for the lost..
That's why he blessed the lives of many people healing Sarando, transforming because there was great compassion in the heart of Jesus. So we can't be one. A tough church, a cold church, a cold church, an insensitive church, praised, be God, because God has worked this out in our church, and sixty percent of our revenue we're spending outside..
God has used in missionary work. God has used in the care of those in need. God has used that hinterland project. God used the Church, now wonderfully there in Rio Grande do Sul, with Pastor Daniel attending to the needs of those people, regardless of whether they were evangelical, if they were not evangelical, But I want Conclude, right.
Jesus? Did you know who he was? Jesus? Did you know what your mission was? and fearlessly. He goes up to Jerusalem to die to lay down his life for us. But Jesus teaches us that he also served motivated by love and compassion. And you said, but Pastor, how am I Can I get that?.
I just love mine myself It's so much that when you pray you only bless him. My son, my husband, my mother, my family, I don't know what it is that everything else goes to hell. We don't say that, But the silence there's a message. When we started the Wells Drilling Wells campaign in the hinterland,.
A lot of people arrived pastor, But it will only help the people there vote for the candidate like that I said my brother, The Church has nothing to do with the candidate, such pastor, so much that, in need, Brothers, when you arrive in the hinterland and see How does a borehole transform a community bringing hope, bringing food, bringing joy,.
We show Figure of a man over seventy years old I had never taken a shower before, The drill, the well, installed the water tank. He took a shower for the first time, If the Church don't have the heart, the DNA of Christ, but they're not churches and I am a part of something else..
Christ is the head of the church, we are the body of Christ, the head, the command. The body obeys Does the body do that That the head rules. So I wanted That you would think of that anniversary. How can we to look more like Christ, like our Church?.
She can have Christ at the center, remember. When he was resurrected, he was resurrected and stood in their midst. Christ is the center Cris, everything's fine without Christ. There's nothing we can do. We have to imitate him. We have to look for that resemblance to him. We have to fight to modify the old man, of our impulses so that Christ, be seen more and more in us. There was an old hymn from the Psalms hymns It was one it was at the end.
I'm going to sing here. You don't cry, no It says like this that Harm from Christ you can see in me all your admirability I love you, divine flame. My whole being refines that the beauty of Christ can be seen brethren, may we be filled with Christ, may we have the humility of Christ, may we have the submission of Christ..
May we have the vision Who are we from, of what is our mission and that we can fulfill that mission with love, with compassion, serving Congratulations to you in these one hundred and eighteen years of blessings. Congratulations to our parents who left their legacy. Congratulations to the current generation that will leave a legacy for the new generations..
And may God protect our Church, may we be a Church of Christ, always always, always may we be overcome by his love, by his compassion, of his humility. Amen. I want to invite you to open your Bible in Matthew Chapter twenty-six, twenty-six. While they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it,.
He left and gave it to the disciples saying Tomai, I ate, this is my body. Then he drank a cup, God having given grace to the disciples saying baby his, everyone, because that's my blood, the blood of the New Covenant, shed on behalf of many for the remission of sins. We are going to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord's Supper and Why did Jesus institute the supper.
So that we can always bring back our memory? What did he do for us? We are the Church, we are the redeemed people separated from the Lord! The theologians Retired Do they understand in their theology that the Sacrament It's a means of grace What's the use of a means of grace half to bring grace. So when you participate in Holy Communion, you remember who you are in Christ,.
You update your salvation. You ask for forgiveness for your sins And you receive the purification of their sins. And there's a secret there in the book of Leviticus, that the oil only goes where the blood has already passed, blood first, then the oil, The anointing comes. Sanctification comes after we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus,.
Top your head. Let's pray you who are a member of this Church or member of any other genuinely evangelical evangelical church who preaches the word of God. If you're here, that table isn't black. That table belongs to the Lord. I want to invite the Beatles and the Diacho to help us here, The shepherds have me for let's pray, Lord God, sanctify us now father, cleanses us by the power that is in the blood of Jesus, Purify our mind our conscience.
Completely washes us out of our sin. Now, sir, it gives us the joy of salvation, it gives us the satisfaction of godliness. If there is someone who is beaten, fallen, May you rise up tonight from the power that is in the blood of Jesus If the despondency, sadness, hopelessness, May we look at the cross view for such great love that the Lord has for us..
