1 Corinthians 12:4-27; Ephesians 4:1-16 — We are God’s family, and as His family, we are the Body of Christ now and here in this world to represent Christ and to call others into the family. We are the One Body consisting of many members with various cultural backgrounds, individual talents, gifts, and roles. All these are given by the Holy Spirit to love, serve, and build up the Body so that we will all become perfect in Christ. This also enables us to persevere in the midst of the attacks of Satan and the world that seeks to destroy God’s family.

John 4:19-26 — Worship is our reverential response to the all-encompassing magnificence of God. Whether it be in song, conversation, prayer, art, preaching, ministry, work, or life, worship is an expression of gratitude, thankfulness, and love towards God, our Father. The Lord desires hearts that worship Him with sincerity and authenticity, hearts that are surrendered completely to Him. He seeks people who realize and acknowledge the truth of who God is and what He has done, and who respond by the Spirit’s prompting with everything that is in them. We are God’s spiritual temples. Therefore, we worship Him with all of our lives as living sacrifices, and as such, we call and invite others to come and worship God.

1 Peter 2:4-12 — God created us to be His possession and for His glory. However, sin separated us from the holy God, and all of us fall short of His glory. But through God’s grace, we have been justified freely through the redemption that came through Jesus Christ. Because of what Jesus did on the Cross, we are now reconciled with our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. Hence, we are now His! We are His chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his special possession, messengers, and masterpieces. We are His for a purpose—to declare His praises by living good and holy lives.

Luke 17:20-18:8 — In these last days we are called to urgent prayer now. Prayer must be our first and primary work. We must pray always, without ceasing. We should not give up, lose heart, or fear. We are God’s people. We must believe and trust that He sees us, hears us, knows everything, and loves us. God will answer us and we will be vindicated, if not now, then in the next life, and certainly at the final judgment.

Romans 13:8-14 — We should wake up from any spiritual sleep we may be in, and seize this time and make the best of it because we are living in the last days. This is the time to live the radical kingdom life of loving our fellow human beings as ourselves so that we can impact this world for God’s glory and proclaim the gospel in word and action. We can do this by putting aside the deeds of darkness and putting on the armor of light, that is, clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. He, as Lord of all of our lives all the time, enables us to do this now, to love now. We should be fully present to what Christ has for us now, in this time.

The Lord’s Prayer & Luke 15:11-32 — When we pray the Lord’s Prayer we are coming home to our Father. We were home but we all left home and were lost. However, God’s self-giving love in Jesus Christ makes redemption and forgiveness possible. He makes it possible for us to come home and receive the Father’s forgiveness, protection, and daily provision. Having come home we can now enjoy the joyous feast of God’s glorious presence, now and forever.
