How to Walk Through Chaos
Part 3: Connect With God’s Family Galatians 6:10 Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith -Every follower of Christ is in the family of God -A Christ follower not in church is a practically an orphan! Bible Descriptions of God’s Family -Household of Faith -Church- ekklesia, a Called Out Assembly -Body of Christ -Bride of Christ -Local- most references are to a particular local church Why Connect? 1. We experience belonging Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household. 2. We need encouragement Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching. 3. We need each other Galatians 6:2 Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Hebrews 3:13 But encourage each other daily, while it is called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception. 4. Jesus works through unity Matthew 18:19-20 Again, truly I tell you, if two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them. 5. We are witnesses for Jesus John 17:21 May they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us, so that the world may believe you sent me. How To Connect 1. Practice “one another” 2.

A: author B: Bible book I: Issue S: Series Many sermons in the St. Joe archive are machine-transcribed. St. Joe is presently transcribing its entire sermon library to render its content more easily accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing, those who speak English as a second language, and to make the sermon content searchable for everybody. While machine transcription makes this logistically and financially more viable, accuracy is sometimes sacrificed. St. Joe is gradually replacing machine transcription with human transcription as time and financial resources allow. Each sermon costs between $30 to $60 to transcribe. If you would like to help see the preached Word of God become accessible to more people, please consider an investment in the St. Joe ministry through the PayPal platform by sending funds to StJoeOnlineGiving@gmail.com, or click here.
