the end of Christ the King sermon...


We, the members of the body, the church… belong to Christ the King.

The church does not belong to those who have been long time members.
The church does not belong to those who contribute the most time, money or gifts.
The church does not belong to those with the longest memory or the most information.


We, the members of the body, the church… belong to Christ the King.
The church does not belong to those who claim to be more appropriate in dress or behavior.
The church does not belong to those who claim to be right in their thinking.
The church does not belong to you or me.


We, the members of the body, the church… belong to Christ the King.

Let me know when you find the congregation that believes THAT! Although it's all true, congregations have a hard time letting go and letting God.
