Title: The Value & Blessing of Working Together
Text:
Ephesians 4:16 (HCSB)
16 From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.
Observation:
There is nothing more productive and enjoyable than woking together with members of the Body of Christ doing the work of God. Notice who we should keep our eyes on, and who we should follow.
Colossians 2:6-7 (HCSB)
6 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him,
7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude.
Jesus is the hope that the Body of Christ can stand upon as we work together to advance the Kingdom of God.
The hymn writer said it this way:
"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand."
The Word of God says it this way:
Colossians 2:6-7 (HCSB)
6 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him,
7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude.
Prayer:
Father, I am so thankful for the hope that we have in Jesus, who is the solid rock on which we can stand as we walk in the footsteps of our Savior.
Father, I thank You for the promise that in Christ alone we have all that we need to walk in the light and love of the Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
