Summary

“Household of God” – Ephesians 2:19-22 New theme for 2013: Household of God – understanding that we are the Household of God and how we are to be the Household of God. Ephesians 2:19-22 I)“No longer strangers and aliens,” but “fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” (19) II)“Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets” (20) III)“Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone” (20) IV)God is building and dwells within His Household (21-22) 4 Levels of the Household 1)Every individual believer is a member of the Household/family of God, the Church worldwide. 2)Every local church is a household of God. 3)The Household of God, then, is a household of households – many local church families making up the worldwide Church. 4)Every local church is a household of households – made up of several households/families. 4 Parting Shots A)If we are in Christ, then we belong, 1st to Him, but also to each other and the whole Household of God. B)How we conduct ourselves (Vernon ACC) as a household of God reflects upon the Household of God. C)How we conduct our households (ourselves and our families) reflects upon the household (church) we are. D)Unity/Oneness in the Household and households results in God’s glory and effective witness. Where there is no oneness, the message is muted. We are the Household of God!
