You Are Mine: Embracing God's Love and Identity
Summary
### Detailed Chronological Summary
Welcome, everyone, to our special service today. We are gathered here for the Good Seed Evangelism Festival, and I am thrilled to see so many new faces. I encourage you to invite your family and friends to join us in this blessed time. Let us begin by singing hymn number 411, followed by a reading from Isaiah 43:1-3. For those without a Bible, the verses will be displayed on the screen.
Isaiah 43:1-3 reads: "But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.'"
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we ask that Your heart be planted as a seed in our hearts today. May this service be a time of blessing and transformation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Today, I want to share a message titled "You Are Mine." The purpose of this Good Seed Evangelism Festival is not merely to increase church membership, although that is a part of it. The primary goal is to plant God's heart in each of us, even if it's just for today. Whether you are here in person or joining us online, I pray that God's heart will be sown into your heart as a precious seed.
What kind of seed are we planting today? The seed is "You Are Mine." This is God's message to us. When this seed is planted in our hearts, it will grow and bear fruit. The fruit is the declaration, "I am God's." This is the essence of today's message.
Imagine the joy God feels when we offer Him the fruit of our lives, declaring, "I am God's." This is the purpose of our festival today. I hope that everyone here, including our regular members and new visitors, will leave with this seed planted in their hearts.
Now, let us rise and sing together, remembering the message we have shared. We will sing "Abide in Me," a song led by our dear Catherine. As we sing, let us place our hands on our hearts and pray, asking God to plant the seed of "You Are Mine" deep within us. Let us call out to God, our Father, and ask Him to help this seed grow and bear fruit in our lives.
God, You created us, You are with us, and You love us so much that You sent Your only Son to die for us. Help us to meet You today and let this seed grow into the fruit of declaring, "I am God's." Let us pray together, calling out to our Father.
Father God, thank You for this time. We come before You, asking that the seed of "You Are Mine" be planted in our hearts. Help us to trust in You, our Creator, and to walk with You through all our difficulties. Thank You for sending Jesus to save us. May we bear the fruit of salvation and declare, "I am God's." Amen.
As we conclude, remember that God is always with you. He walks with you through every trial and protects you. When you face difficulties, know that God is right beside you. He says, "You are Mine," and this is His promise of love and protection.
Finally, let us remember that the seed of "You Are Mine" means that God loves us deeply. Just as a couple might say to each other, "You are mine," God says this to us out of His immense love. However, our sin separates us from God, and this grieves Him deeply. To bridge this gap, God sent Jesus Christ to die for us. By believing in Jesus, we can be reconciled with God and bear the fruit of declaring, "I am God's."
I encourage you to nurture this seed by staying connected to a faith community. Whether it's our church or another, find a place where you can grow spiritually. If you choose to join us, we will support you in your journey of faith.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
