Lesson 21 - The Body of Christ in the World. The Church is a radically gifted and radically flawed emodiment of Christ even while it is a human institution. It is a means of God's grace though it members are not always grace-filled. It is a work of the Holy Spirit though some members are not born again by the Spirit.

Advent is a season of preparation that serves as a reminder of Christ’s first coming and the certainty of the same progression of prophecies, signs, and wonders for His return. Ironically, the Western-secular Christmas experience starts around the end of October and ends on Christmas day. The entire season is shaped around material and spiritual matter that has little to do with Christ’s Second Coming. In fact, such talk, especially of the signs, is thought to be depressing and generally negative. Could this be the kind of deception Jesus was speaking of?

Do you know anyone who dislikes Christians because they’re too judgmental? When people do and say things that seem questionable, even to themselves, there is often a sheepish expression and then a declaration, “Don’t judge me!” How should disciples respond to an impulse to judge others? Can anyone really excuse his / her behavior just by saying, “don’t judge me”? The final message in our Sermon on the Mount series will seek answers to these and other questions.
