“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching…one another.” Paul (Colossians 3:16a) Teaching others…and being taught by others…is central to our maturing in Christ as His disciples and how we make disciples. A once-a-week message is not nearly enough teaching for His Word to dwell richly in us! We need time with Him daily…and with other disciples/believers…teaching and being taught! We continue our "one anothers" in loving, sharing and working out God's plan for the Body of Christ as Paul... Read More

Consider Others Above Self
Blog
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves.” Paul (Philippians 2:3) How can we as selfish human beings be humble and place others above ourselves? Only in Christ and by His Spirit. Last week's "one another" called us to "submit to one another out of reverence or honor for Christ." You want to know where this begins? Philippians 2:3 gives us the example of Christ and tells us to do the same thing, “…In humility... Read More
