The Christian life is not just a matter of believing, it also includes belonging

Believing - > Belonging - > Becoming

A Church family helps me… (in at least 5 ways)

1) Focus on God

Psalm 34:3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!

2) Face life’s challenges

1 Thessalonians 5:10-11 [Jesus] who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

3) Fortify my faith

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity…

4) Find my ministry

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

5) Fulfill my calling

Acts 20:24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
