Tim Challies observed that many Christians did not realise just how many commitments they had to the church—and perhaps more seriously, how many commitments they felt to the church—until they were all taken away.
He further added that some Christians were doing too much and it took a pandemic to make them realise the strain they were feeling; some Christians were doing just the right amount, but were still laden with guilt that they were not doing more.
It is a great reminder that it’s about assignments, not activities that truly matter. And that just as sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath, so the local church was made for the Christian, not the Christian for the local church.

It's time for another KINGDOM101 teaching – Session #108!
Following the confrontation with the Pharisees and the Sadducees, Jesus departs to the other side with His disciples. Matthew 16:5-12 records an interesting conversation about bread and leaven. What exactly was Jesus trying to teach the disciples? Join us as we learn together through next Wednesday's kingdom teaching, "Leaven Lookout".
As per previous sessions, Ps Henson Lim will pre-record the teaching and then host a Watch Party on this Facebook Page. Session #108 will be aired on Wednesday, 23 September 2020, 7:30pm. To be notified, you will need to LIKE/FOLLOW our Facebook Page or you may also subscribe to AA’s YouTube Channel (click the notification bell too).

The church is a family, an army, a building and a body, all at once. You are very much part of it and your assignments and sub-assignments might very likely be found in these settings.
If you remain open, sensitive and submitted to the Holy Spirit, you will learn many things about yourself as you stay in community with God’s people.
But to stay in community does not mean to stay in a comfort zone. You must be ready to go where your kingdom assignment takes you.
