The Challenge of being Church

As we continue to strive to be all that God wants us to be, we continually evaluate what it means to be called to : preach the Good News, heal the sick, bind up the broken hearted, set the captives free and proclaim the day of the Lord's favour (Is61), in a world that regards religion with suspicion, conviction with disdian and faith with indifference. But we see people as created in God's image yet living with a fallen image of themselves. As Church we need to strive to help people to see themselves as wonderfuly and fearfully made, as beautiful and worthy. They can only see that in them when they see that Christ is in them making them beautiful. So let us strive to bring out the best in each other, to repent of our defeatest and neagtive attitudes and to see that when we see Christ in others then we will make a difference in the world.
Let is not tire of doing good but in all circumstances with joyful hearts and a desire to serve God commit ourselves to good works, of gratiutude for the life that we have recieved.
