Hello brothers and sisters;
Since June last year we have been attending a new Church that is rebuilding without a pastor and there are only 10 remaining members. Becoming a part of this Church, serving in anyway we can has been a real blessing.
But for the last 4 weeks my wife and I were led back to a group of Christians to encourage them and lead a Bible study last night. They have been through a tough time and the study was regarding strife, combative situations, and confrontation with others in the Church. So how do we respond?
What happens when the teachings of reconciliation in the passages fall short in one's efforts? We also studied 1 Timothy 5:1-16.
It was a good study and constructive discussion followed with doing a self-check and seeking forgiveness from the Lord.
In the last week the group gave a proper stepping down from their former Church and are searching for a new Church. Today we accompanied them to a wonderful Church in our community.
The Pastor and his wife are good friends and he gave an inspiring Word of encouragement;
Every temptation to sin is an invitation to depend on Christ
If you rebuke the enemy and return to God by repenting of your sins and receiving Christ, your spirit will be reborn, your mind renewed, your life rebuilt. You will be reconciled by Christ’s redeeming work and reap the rewards of relationship causing revival to break free!
Have you been there? How did you deal with it and how did you move on?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
God bless you all and your families.
