Memorial Day Conference Follow-up

The general subject of the Memorial Day Conference was “The Experience of Christ.” Praise the Lord for His timely speaking!

The church life is the sum total of our Christian living; we all live Christ, and our Christian living is added together to make the church life. The most important thing for us to do is to experience Christ as our enjoyment today so that the church may be built up for His glory; this is the way for us to be preserved in the Lord’s recovery until He comes back. (message 1, I.H, III.E.8 = Key Statement 1)

Since Philippians is concerned with the experience and enjoyment of Christ, which issue in joy, it is a book filled with joy and rejoicing. The experience of Christ is primarily in our spirit, but the enjoyment of Christ is in our soul. The reason that many lose the enjoyment of Christ is the problem they have in the soul; if you do not have much enjoyment of Christ, it indicates that you are not one in soul, joined in soul. (message 1, III.A,B,D)

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Phil. 4:4)

“Only, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ…that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together along with the faith of the gospel.” (Phil. 1:27)

“Make my joy full, that you think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking the one thing.” (Phil. 2:2)

Lord, in all the churches, may what has been spoken become a vision that governs our lives. Lord, deepen our experience of You and save us from the problems in our soul so that we may enjoy You much more and shine brightly with You for Your magnification.

GTCA Cities near California – Phoenix

GTCA is the carrying out of the burden to “gospelize, truthize, and churchize” North America. This long-term labor is part of the one, unique work of the Lord to build up the Body of Christ.

Saints began meeting as the church in Phoenix in the 1990s. Today, the average number of meeting in the table and prophesying meetings on the Lord’s Day is about 170. The church also gathers on Tuesday for prayer, with approximately 50 participating. In addition to the corporate meetings, there are college student meetings, small group meetings, Chinese-speaking student meetings, language meetings, sisters’ meetings, and YP meetings.

The church in Phoenix is currently burdened for: 1) propagating the resurrected, ascended, and all-inclusive Christ by means of districting; 2) forming a full-time team to labor on Arizona State University campus; and 3) raising up full-timers regularly for the Lord’s move here and elsewhere.
