Weekend Service with Pst. A.R Bernard
Culture mandate has mission & purpose
The mandate has an agency which will preserve the mandate
Kosmos : world : social order : world system
Preach - announced by proclamation done infectically & authoritatively
Teach - to impart the teaching & doctrines of Christ & to implement the instructions
Make disciples - turn the people who hear the message into followers & learners of the word
Social institutions - Family, religion, education, economics, political, mass media & arts, sports & entertainment
Motivation is not from a ideology but from Christology
Thus we can sit with people who disagree with us because God is bigger than us or them
God will never send us to a place without making sure that it's all prepared for us
All we have to do is to listen & obey
Hos 6:7
Each of the institutions are gateway into the kosmos
Our motivation should not be any ideology but of God
The great commission is for the culture mandate
Purpose for the culture mandate
Acts 26:18
Open the eyes
2 Cor 4:6?
Turn them from the darkness to light
From Satan to God
Received the inheritance promised to Abraham through Christ
Agency that was chosen to engage into the purpose & mission is the church
The agents are the believers
Part of life is about asking, seeking & knocking but Jesus use this instructions for our prayers
In our prayer life
Ask - expressing the desire to God
Seek - seeking the wisdom for the desires
Knock - then we need to be persistent in the knocking so that God will then turn the favour upon you from Satan who is currently the prince of this world. God will not violent another person's will for us
We are not going to be rewarded for our efforts but for the results
If we have not been effective or having good results, we wouldn't be noticed!
