Getting yourself in Christian community
March 21, 2012
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
There was a family in our church not long ago who experienced a very difficult time. Their young son was severely injured in a car accident. So one of our ministers went to visit this family. And when he walked in, he saw something wonderful. While that family was in the throes of tragedy, fifteen people from their Sunday school class had their arms wrapped around them, just praying, holding them, and loving them through that situation.
Times like this make it abundantly clear to me that God never intended for us to live the Christian life in isolation. But the problem today among so many Christians is that they’ve bought into an individualistic mindset that says, “I’m doing pretty well on my own. I don’t need anyone else.”
God knows this isn’t the case, which is exactly why the apostle Paul gave us this very important mandate in today’s passage to “bear one another’s burdens….” Sure, you can go for awhile and be fine on your own. But what happens when tragedy strikes… when there’s no money in the bank… or when you just need some encouragement?
Community is one of the most important things you can have as a believer. So find others whom you can share life with, bear one another’s burdens, and build up with the love of Christ!
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IS A MUST FOR THE BELIEVER. SO FIND OTHERS YOU CAN LIVE LIFE WITH AND BUILD ONE ANOTHER UP!

Understand what’s visible by unveiling the Invisible!
Dear Friend,
While so many people today only focus on what’s visible, there’s an invisible realm that’s just as real and just as active as the physical world you see.
Yet as you go about your daily life, it can be easy to forget that truth, which puts you right in the crosshairs of the evil one.
In this eye-opening 10-message series called Invisible, you’ll come along with me as I exploresuch topics as the existence of angels, the battle for your mind, and what heaven is really like. After hearing it, you’ll be better equipped to have real victory in the spiritual realm!
I want to send youInvisible to thank you for your online donation to PowerPoint today. I know you’ll never see your physical world the same once you unveil the Invisible!
Thank you for your gift. I’m so grateful for you!
Jack Graham
