Message from Nov. 16 - Based on the 5th Chapter of First Thessalonians
Part of the Work of a congregation of Christ followers is building others up. This includes both people in the congregation and also those who are not yet follower of Christ.
This Building Others Up includes:
Honoring Spiritual Leaders - we are to pray for, encourage and support those who are in leadership over us in the church.
Nurture - we are to reach out with love and support to all people especially those who are in need.
Good Works - these are a normal part of every day life. We should not restrict the work of God to mission trips or special outings. We can do the good work of God each and every day.
Joyful Living - while life doesn't always make us happy, we can be joyful. Happiness depends on "happenings", joy depends on a life centered in the peace of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Walking in the Spirit - each day we are able to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us. Are we allowing the Spirit's influence in our life?
