- Christianity
OIKOS: family, relatives, neighbors and colleagues. We have the responsibility to claim them for Jesus. This message highlighted the openness of people to receive the Gospel, citing examples like Cornelius and the importance of praying for and reaching to neighbors. We as Jesus' disciples are encouraged to expect the salvation of entire families when one person gets saved. Examples from Noah's ark and Paul's claim of all aboard the ship were mentioned. The importance of actively prioritizing, loving family members, and forgiveness sought for past passivity. There are positive and negative examples from the Bible. We're urged to do unconventional things like Zacchaeus to reach others. The message emphasized paying attention to those around, even seemingly hard cases, and trusting in the healing power of the Word of God. Overall, the focus was on claiming one's "Oikos" for the Gospel and prioritizing family and relationships.
