Who is God? Week 8

The sermon addresses the church's purpose, questioning whether it truly glorifies God or if self-interest has become the primary motivator. It challenges the congregation to honestly assess if they are fulfilling God's calling and emphasizes that public perception of the church is currently low due to valid reasons. Drawing parallels to team dynamics, it contrasts motivations driven by coaches and teammates with selfish ambition, suggesting the church often resembles the latter. The message references Genesis and Ephesians, highlighting humanity's purpose to fill the earth with God's image and the reconciliation offered through Christ. It urges listeners to prioritize God as the foundation of their lives rather than an addition and to actively pursue unity, humility, and service to others, mirroring Christ's example.
