A Church Member’s Communion with God

In the last message, we talked about the life of the church as an interactive community; how we’re called to relate to our leaders and to one another. A healthy church isn’t just about what happens up front on Sundays, it’s about members who are actively involved in each other’s lives, showing grace and patience as we minister to see God build His people.

This week the focus shifts from our shared life to the personal responsibilities we have before our Lord. This portion of Scripture turns our attention to what it looks like for each of us to live in a way that’s marked by joy, prayer, and thanksgiving. These responses naturally flow out of what we receive from God’s ministry to us through His Word.
