101st International Assembly, Saturday Evening Session (2022)

The Saturday evening service offered one more time to experience the joy that the Bahama Brass Band brings. A video was shown highlighting the core value of Biblical Stewardship. A powerful time of worship fell on the Assembly as the Assembly Worship Team ministered. Bishop Daniel Felipe, the state bishop of Texas preached the sermon, “Ministry in His Image and Likeness.” He declared that the world is in a state of discrepancy with God. “The term reconciliation has over time evolved to become a term that we use to refer to the mending of broken relationships—whether it is the relationship between a father and a son, between spouses, or even between friends. We have come to know reconciliation as the healing act of bringing broken parts back together. Although this holds true, it is a relational image that extrapolates from the original intent of the word. Originally the word reconciliation is an accounting term, used to remediate the existence of a discrepancy, and a discrepancy is the absence of image and likeness. For when a record that is designed to mirror an account in every way, in every sum, and in every line-item fails to bear true testimony of the account, a discrepancy exists.” Later in his message, he explained, “But in order for the church to become an instrument of reconciliation, the church must reconcile its ministry with the ministry of Jesus. In other words, there cannot be a discrepancy between his ministry and our ministry; there cannot be a discrepancy between his mission and our mission; there cannot be a discrepancy between his heart and our heart.”
