SONGS 203-205 A GLORIOUS CHURCH TO POSSESS THE NATIONS (Texts: Eph. 3:21; Eph. 5:27) Apostle Eric Nyamekye 1.0 INTRODUCTION – THE GOAL OF THE CHURCH The purpose or goal for constructing a building or structure is crucial for determining the processes by which it is built. When designing a building, architects always keep their client’s purpose in mind while fixing their eyes firmly upon the finished product as outlined in the original plan of the building until it is completed. To a large extent, the engineering design and aesthetics of a building is determined by the purpose for which it is built.1 Both the architects and the builders adopt a holistic approach to all their processes and work in particular ways to ensure that what is built meets its purpose or goal. In the same way, the Church God sends into the world to possess the nations has a goal. However, many Christian congregations across the world appear to have forgotten about the goal of the Church. A typical church calendar of our times is often activity-packed and project oriented: Sunday bible studies, home cell meetings, mid-week Bible studies and prayer services, Friday evening prayer meetings, all night services, dawn meetings, ministry weeks and ministry activities, pastors and wives’ conferences and many more. Much of church life today can be seen as a sum total of meetings, activities and projects some of which aim at solving social and physical problems. Even the training that is given in our Bible Schools and Colleges is more of how to perform liturgy, teach, counsel etc. The practical training consist of being given skills to perform certain activities well. Our presbytery meetings do also illustrate the problem solving approach. This is not to say that the activity and the problem-based approaches to building churches are not important. But rather we are called to build the Church with the ultimate goal in mind: the goal of becoming a beautiful bride prepared for her Bridegroom, which is Christ. The Church is called together to be a special people for the God’s own possession (Deut 7:9), She is God’s workmanship created for good works. God is always working in His church 1 Stephen B. Clark, Building Christian Communities: Strategy for Renewing the Church (Notre Dame: Maria Press, 1972), 12. 1 to prepare her as a glorious bride for Himself and to make her credible before the watching world, in order to make her witness to the nations easy and effective. It is this working of the Spirit of God in the Church to produce this outward beauty that would be attractive to the eyes of the watching world is what is described as the glory of God in the Church. Paul in his letter to the Ephesian church expresses this profound truth: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless (Eph. 5:25-27 NIV). The Church today seems to have forgotten the glorious truth expressed in the above scripture. As a result, there often seems to be little concern about the spots and wrinkles which at present undoubtedly exist. The Church is to be committed to the goal of becoming “a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,” a “holy and blameless” bride to Christ, the bridegroom (Rom. 7:4; 2 Cor. 11:1-2; Rev. 21:2&9, Rev. 19:6-9). To this end Jesus gave “Gifts of men” to the Church. Paul writes; It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13, NIV) These “Gifts of men” are co-labourers with God, the owner of the Church who works in her (Php. 2:13; Php. 1:6) to get her to the ultimate goal. As co-labourers, Christian workers should have the same goal as God’s –“to build something – to work to form a people who live for God. This should be the result of all our pastoral work. Whereas, the goal of the Christian life is to live for the praise of God’s glory (Eph. 1:9-12), the goal of the pastoral work by extension the Church, is to build a people of God who live for God’s glory”2 – a 2 Clark, Building Christian Communities: Strategy for Renewing the Church, p. 22. 2 glorious bride without stain or wrinkle or any of such things. The Christian worker as an architect or a builder should be able ask himself or herself these questions: 1. What am I building? - the goal 2. Why am I building? – the purpose 3. How am I building? – the process He or she should be concerned that all the activities and efforts go together in such a way that something is being built. With this understanding we should be able to mobilise the church for real prayers. We need to be praying for the perfecting of the saints as a community developing a beautiful lifestyle in the midst of a corrupt and disintegrating world order (Col. 1:9-14; Eph. 3:14-19). As God’s people, God requires the entire Church to live their life as a fitting tribute to Him (1 Peter 2:9), reflecting His very character and nature. This image of the Church implies that as a people of God we cannot live our life the way we want it. God has interest in how we live our lives as the summoned out group. The watching world too will measure us based on this understanding of the Church as God’s possession – a people that is required to simultaneously reflect God’s love and holiness. From John 13:34-35, Jesus Christ himself stresses that the world has the right to decide whether we are true disciples of his, on the basis of the love we show to all people. It is this observable love among Christians that will convince the watching world that God sent His Son to save humanity. (Jn. 17:21). This idea is aptly captured by Francis Schaeffer: The church is constantly on trial before God and before the world. It claims to be God’s representative. By its deeds and words it should therefore reveal to all men something of the character of the God who is there – something of God’s love and simultaneously something of God’s holiness.3 Though we may need to build decent places of worship, grow our finances, have our pews reasonably full, and plant more churches, the evangelisation of the world is not the supreme end of the Church. It is only a means towards that end, the end of having a prepared bride, 3See Cover Page of Francis A. Schaeffer, The Church Before the Watching World (London: Inter- Varsity Press, 1972). 3 reflecting the glory of God.4 If the Church misses this goal then she runs the risk of running in vain (Gal. 2:2). 2.0 THE CHURCH PREPARED AS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST – THE MORAL PURITY OF THE CHURCH David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord should be of great magnificence and fame and splendour in the sight of all the nations. Therefore, I will make preparations for it.” So David made extensive preparations before his death. Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. David said to Solomon: “My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the Lord my God (1 Chron. 22:5-7, NIV). David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Lord to house the Ark of the Covenant. He made extensive preparation for it. But God denied him the opportunity of building the temple. His son Solomon rather was to build the temple. The house David had in mind was to be of great magnificence, fame and splendour in the sight of all the nations.

  • The Adinkra Symbols Reveal the Theology of the Akans People of Ghana
    Abstract The real price for accepting that there is only way of doing hermeneutics, and ultimately, theology has been the sacrifice of some of the significant models in the scriptures that God has given us for hermeneutical and theological enterprises. One of the models that we should not have been blind to is the model of Symbols for theology. A symbol may be an art piece, a ritual, a dance form, a saying, silence, countenance, a story, a song, or other realities like that, which serve as a metaphor, and which is pregnant with a story (or sacred story, which I call myth in this dissertation) that points to a religious, social or economic understanding of a people. In this work, I present the Adinkra Symbols of the Akan as such symbols, and as a route to showing the theology of the Akan people of Ghana. My aim is to encourage Symbolic Theology (as a branch of ethnotheology) through ethnohermeneutics, for people of the Majority World like Africa. In Africa where symbolisms occupy a great space in epistemology and religion, Symbolic Theology may be very appropriate. The extent, to which Scripture uses symbols for doing theology in both the Old and New Testaments, is not only far reaching, but is also surely meant for our emulation. However, we have not been exploring this symbolic way of doing theology in the deeper and extensive ways that we should have been doing. I am submitting that some of the effective ways of doing theology is to use symbols. At least two reasons account for this affirmation.

  • Sandy Spring Friends School 58Th Commencement, June 6, 2020 Welcome Remarks Jonathan Oglesbee, Head of Upper School Let Us Begin
    Sandy Spring Friends School 58th Commencement, June 6, 2020 Welcome Remarks Jonathan Oglesbee, Head of Upper School Let us begin with a Moment of Silence. _____ Good morning. I’m Jonathan Oglesbee, Head of the Upper School. Welcome to Sandy Spring Friends School and welcome to the graduation and commencement celebration of the Class of 2020! It seems absurd to mention that this is an unusual circumstance in which we find ourselves. Right? For the first time in our School’s history, we are unable to celebrate a graduating class in person, on-campus, with all of the traditions that make an event like this so special. And yet, to not mention it…to somehow try to pretend that us gathering by video is just a given, seems wrong as well. So instead of either trying to pretend this isn’t real or being consumed with what this moment is not, let us chart a way forward. Graduates, that is, in fact, what we hope you have learned during your years with us. When faced with obstacles to your worldview, challenges to your perspective, we have worked to support you in growing, exploring, wondering, reflecting, and taking action. Today, let us not give in to the temptation to be naive, and let us not be lured into despair that somehow because we cannot do everything we must therefore do nothing. Instead, let us seize this moment for what it is, an opportunity to celebrate you, your accomplishments, and this occasion in the ways we can. Let’s come together literally across the globe, from Burkina Faso, from Ukraine, Vietnam, Mexico and Olney…from Bhutan, South Korea, Washington and Bowie, from Ethiopia, China, Ghana, and Potomac and Silver Spring…from Honduras, Spain, Mexico City, and Montreal.
