The Tribe

July 21, 2024 • Orphée Lutula Okito • Colossians 3:12–17, Ephesians 6:10–18

In the Democratic Republic of Congo and many African countries, people come from various tribes, each with its own distinct traits. We often recognize each other by our names and characteristics. This message will draw a parallel between being born again and acquiring the new traits that accompany this transformation. The Apostle Paul, in Colossians 3:12-17, outlines how we should live as followers of Christ, adopting the “new traits” of people belonging to a “new tribe.” As a conclusion, Orphee will introduce the book of Ephesians, touching on the importance of putting on The Armor of God to safeguard us from reverting to our old traits—the ways of the “old tribe.”
