On Location


We just wrapped up the second week of our ON Location....Moments with God from around the Globe series. This past week we were in Paris, France. Here is the outline of the message.

ON LOCATION! EIFFEL TOWER - The Structure took thousands of small parts (rivets, nuts, bolts, etc.) to work together in order for it to stand.

The Importance of Strong Connections
Since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs the others (Romans 12:5b).

The Best Way To Build On A Foundation

Is with STRONG CONNECTIONS

What Good Are Strong Connections?

Strong connections SUPPORT me
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing
(1 Thessalonians 5:11).


Strong connections STRENGTHEN me
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken
(Ecclesiastes 4:12).



Strong connections SUSTAIN me
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat . . . refreshing! (Proverbs 25:13).

Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33).


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

Without strong CONNECTIONS, I’ll probably CRUMBLE!
