We Are The Church!

Part IV; March 16, 2025

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. —2 Corinthians 5:17-20 (NIV)

Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” —John 20:21 (NLT)

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. —Colossians 3:17 (NLT)

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. —Ephesians 5:1-2 (NLT)

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. —Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)

Wherever he went…they begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed. —Mark 6:56 (NLT)

Who finds healing when their life touches us?
