There's too much to give you a detailed breakdown of our schedule over the last few days, but during our morning team meeting I read this verse in Ephesians and it really spoke to me.
'Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.' - Ephesians 2 v 20
It's amazing to think that we are the house of God. Not the church building we meet in and sometimes stereotypically view as the house of God. It is us - you and me. It's about fellowship and unity. There are many different, specific and unique parts of the body - but together we are one. Many functions for one purpose.
It's been amazing already to be part of a large group of people giving their time, energy and themselves for the glory of our Father God. During our worship times, its been especially clear to see that God is dwelling among us.
And Jesus is the cornerstone! He completed this house. Without Jesus, our house comes tumbling down. Over these past few days we've been encouraged and empowered by Jesus Christ Himself. And over the next few days we're going to be going out, into the local community of Jelgava, to fulfil one purpose - bringing the Kingdom of God to Jelgava.
Hopefully more updates will follow this one, so stay tuned but more importantly keep us all in your prayers. And until then remember - you are the house of God!
