This episode explores the selection of the apostles as the new tribal heads of the Church of Jesus Christ, drawing parallels with the twelve tribes of Israel. As we delve into Acts chapter 1, the significance of our identity in Christ is emphasized, transcending race, ethnicity, and national boundaries. The discussion challenges the tribalism prevalent in modern culture and highlights the Church as our true tribe, unified by faith and the promises of Jesus Christ.
The sermon encourages believers to find their true identity in being part of the Church and as beloved children of God, moving beyond cultural and familial roots to embrace their spiritual heritage. As we prepare for the Lord’s Supper, we are reminded that our roots are in Christ, and we are cherished by God, a treasured possession built on the foundation of the apostles.
