Many professing Christians claim they really don’t need to be a part of a church because they can live the Christian life just fine without one. But the truth is, no Christian has ever been called to go it alone in his or her walk with God. Dr. Stanley shares with us the vital importance of being an active part of the church. Everyone who wants to maintain a vital, growing relationship with Jesus Christ needs to be committed to a local body of believers. If we do so, our lives will never be the same.

If you knew that anything you said about yourself would be true, what would you say? Perhaps 'I am rich,' or 'I am attractive.' Many times, we forget how much we are affected by the things we say about ourselves. Our words have great power. Learn to use them wisely.

Which do you enjoy talking about the most? People, events or ideas? Which do you feel the most comfortable emotionally doing? Criticizing someone or complimenting someone? For many people it is easier to gossip about someone than to encourage them. Dr. Stanley discusses how our speech is to be pleasing and acceptable to God.

When we think about the Great Commission, many of us feel overwhelmed and think what can I do?But a better question would be, What can we do?

Dr. Stanley talks about the pattern and power of Christian partnerships. Using examples from the life of Paul, Dr. Stanley explains how we can work together through prayer, personal service and giving. He also says that we will be blessed when we serve since we will receive encouragement, experience increased involvement and develop stronger convictions.

However, the best part of working with others is the eternal rewards of seeing the kingdom of God grow and glorifying God through obedience to His Word. Who will you partner with to experience the joy of shared ministry?

Many people find it easy to be thankful when things are going well but quite another thing to give thanks when the world seems to be falling apart. Dr. Stanley states that the key to maintaining gratefulness in every situation is to know that God is always in control. When we focus on Him and practice thanksgiving, our troubles and frustrations lose the position they once occupied in our hearts and minds. They are replaced by reminders of God’s provision and renewed trust in Him, which infuses us with the energy we need to persevere.

This message is part of the In All Things Give Thanks set. The set is for those who want to learn how and why to be thankful in every season of lifethe good times and the difficult trials.
