1 - Introduction - Living like a real Christian Community- The Context For Change | Page 9

“When Christ returns to earth, the present age will end completely and the
age to come will come fully. Meanwhile, we actually live between the two
ages – in what?s been called the overlap of the ages.” What mistaken
thoughts, distorted emotions, or wrong practices result when we don?t focus
enough on the age to come? What about when we don?t focus enough on
the present age?
Ponder especially on 2 Peter 3 v 9 in relation to the other Scriptures. God
loves each and every person and wants them, with our help, to find Him. In
Matthew 28 v 19 – 20 He gave us, as believers, the instructions to do so.
Prayer Point: Thank God that in the future he is going to unite and heal all
things under the lordship of Christ. Pray that your community would be a
“city on a hill”. Pray that you, as a community of God?s people, would
evidence the beauty and visible reality of God. Ask for opportunities to build
relationships with and witness to people who don?t believe in Christ, and for
courage to live the gospel before others.

SEE YOU IN CHURCH!!
