"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." I Thessalonians 5:11
What a day we had at FredWes yesterday!
We heard from our teens reporting on Youth Camp. It's always inspiring to hear testimonies of life change!
This evening, following an exciting week of Vacation Bible School we enjoyed hearing songs and testimonies from our children about how God touched their lives.
In between we did some strong worship and a message from the Word.
If you spent the day with us at FredWes you have to be encouraged! That's the blessing of fellowship with other Christ-followers.
Through the Summer I am sharing a series of messages on what it means to follow Christ. Following Jesus is not without it's challenges but following Him alone, apart from fellowship should not be one of them!
In this verse you are urged to encourage other followers and build them up. How can you do that if you are not involved in regular fellowship with Christ-followers? Why would you want to?
Christ dwells in the hearts of His followers so it stands to reason the more followers who gather together in fellowship the stronger the sense of His presence and more encouraging it will be for all!
If you are a Christ-follower but not regularly involved in a fellowship that encourages you and builds you up, according to Scripture you need to find one!
And if you are attached to such a fellowship support it with your prayers and your presence!
