Your relationship with your congregation

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In this sermon, the pastor discusses the relationship between a believer and their church, using the metaphor of a marriage. He emphasizes the importance of a long-term commitment to a church, just as in a marriage. He also emphasizes that the church, like a marriage, should exemplify the unity of God within its diversity. The pastor encourages the congregation to have a strong relationship with their church and its leaders, and to remain loyal to their congregation.

Marriage and the church are designed to exemplify unity in diversity, reflecting God's true love. One must not have a consumer mindset in the church, but instead be a giver, and the same goes for marriage. Marriage is an exercise in becoming more like Christ, and one must stay committed through thick and thin to grow and develop character. Normality and monotony are a part of marriage, and comparisons should be avoided. These imperfections and conflicts in marriage and the church are designed to create character in us.


In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of loyalty, faithfulness, and commitment in both marriage and church life. He warns against the temptation to compare and encourages individuals to be content with what they have, rather than seeking something better elsewhere. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of integrity and good leadership in the church and the need for individuals to actively participate and serve in their congregations. Finally, he highlights the importance of finding a church that provides opportunities for growth and service and encourages individuals to be committed to their church if it provides them with what they need.


The speaker encourages the congregation to rest and serve God, and asks God to help them be faithful and exemplary in their actions. They declare a prophetic word for the church to embody integrity and fidelity. The speaker blesses the people and declares the grace of the Lord to be with them.


This sermon is part of this series of sermons that I have been preaching, trying to clarify and clarify what are the fundamentals of our church, what we are, what we believe, why we are the way we are and clarify the ambiguities and things that a Sometimes they are not defined because pastors rarely have the opportunity to develop this type of meditation. It is not a meditation like a sermon that gives glory to God, Hallelujah! But I do believe that they invite us to think, biblically, theologically, and to know aspects of our life as a church and as individuals as well.

I believe that among the issues we have discussed, this issue of how I think the relationship between you and your church should be, the León de Judá congregation in this case, but how any believer's relationship with their church should be. And what should be the relationship of the church with the believer, what are the duties, responsibilities, what are the privileges, what are the expectations. There are many unreasonable and sometimes unfair and exaggerated expectations of the role of the church. Sometimes perhaps we have a very low expectation, even of the role of the church, of our relationship with our church.
