Laborers build His church

Aug 23, 2020    Dr. Danny Lovett

This Sunday we continue in Nehemiah to see how God uses us as co-laborers to build His church (1 Corinthians 3:9). Nehemiah 3 provides us with an illustrative answer. It’s an account of the divisions of labor in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem under Nehemiah’s leadership. God made us as individuals and we should not deny it. But at the same time, He has made us many members, but one body in Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12). Christ wants us to learn to work together. God Himself is a Trinity. He is one God consisting of three persons, each of which is fully God. The three persons are in perfect unity working together. God wants His people to reflect His image by working together in unity and harmony (Ephesians 4:3). This Sunday we will dig into this!
