Words With Families Saturday

Saturday, Read Titus 2:1, 15

    A family is a unit of people who are related by marriage, blood or adoption. Members of the spiritual family, the “church”, are related in the Spirit, adopted by our heavenly Father through the shed blood of the Son.

Come with singing. See Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16. In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas sang in prison.

Hear Sound Doctrine. Doctrine divides but in a good way. There is a right and a wrong; the taught word of God tells us which is which.

Understand Preaching “you should teach” See 1 Cor. 14:15-20. For centuries, the Bible was not understood by the common people. Coming to church helps us understand more about God and know Him better.

Respond with action “rebuke” The difference in the wise and foolish builder is the righteous response to what is heard (Matt. 7:24).

Care for Others “encourage” How can you love your neighbor if you are not with them? You can be a Christian and not go to church, but not a good one who encourages others.

Hold your head up high. “Do not despise anybody” A woman too ashamed to come to church even though she was saved was afraid of what others would say. A kind older woman told her, “You just walk right in there with your chin up and head held high. It was for you the Son of Glory died!” None are saved because of who we are, but because of WHOSE we are! Don’t be afraid to come to church because of what you’ve done. Come to church as a child of the King!
