Stronger Together

Stronger Together  5

The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone. God created us for community. When you acknowledge Christ as your Savior, you are immediately adopted into the family of God. Whether or not you have biological brothers or sisters, now you have spiritual sisters and brothers! You are a part of the body of Christ- the church. The church is made up men and women like you- all with unique gifts and strengths that are needed to accomplish the Great Commission (Matthew 28.19-20). After Jesus ascended into heaven, he promised his disciples that he would send the Holy Spirit. In Acts chapter two, we read about the coming of the Holy Spirit during the celebration of Pentecost. Men and women received the Holy Spirit upon confessing Christ as Savior and repenting of their sins. These men and women formed the early church. They broke bread TOGETHER. They worshiped TOGETHER. They ministered TOGETHER. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, they were STRONGER TOGETHER.

The Holy Spirit still works in believers today!

Through the Holy Spirit, Christ has made us his one body. The Lord Jesus outfits us with his Holy Spirit so that we can stand strong and advance his kingdom until the day of his final victory. The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ and his kingdom and unites us with his people, the church. He empowers us to be strong together through the Word, worship, his wonders, and reaching the world. We are always STRONGER TOGETHER!
