10. Speak to One Another
Ephesians 5:18-19
We hope that you have enjoyed the break that we had taken from the one another series. We pray that you have a renewed passion to pray and a new perspective on wisdom. But today we will be picking back up in our One Another series with the topic of speech. And not just any speech, but specifically how believers are to speak to
Ephesians 5:18-19
We hope that you have enjoyed the break that we had taken from the one another series. We pray that you have a renewed passion to pray and a new perspective on wisdom. But today we will be picking back up in our One Another series with the topic of speech. And not just any speech, but specifically how believers are to speak to each other.
Our goal for today will be to encourage you to see just how important our time with other believers is and especially what we choose to talk about when we are together. I pray that you see the important role that you play in the life of this church and that you see how big of a role you can play with something as small as your words.

7. Bear One Another
Colossians 3:12-14
As we continue in the One Another series today, we get to look at the topic of what it means to "bear with one another.” When I think of this term to “bear with” someone I oftentimes do not have the biblical point of view in mind. And although there are times that I wish that I could be like Elijah in 2 Kings 2:24, when he called down bears from the forest to deal with people he was having problems with...
Colossians 3:12-14
As we continue in the One Another series today, we get to look at the topic of what it means to "bear with one another.” When I think of this term to “bear with” someone I oftentimes do not have the biblical point of view in mind. And although there are times that I wish that I could be like Elijah in 2 Kings 2:24, when he called down bears from the forest to deal with people he was having problems with, I don't think that is what this passage has in mind.
Oftentimes as Christians we are taught that this idea of bearing with someone is similar to the phrase "grin and bear it.” This expresses the idea that there is someone or something that we have to deal with that we don't like, so we put on a fake smile and just deal with it. But this passage today calls us to a higher standard when we are dealing with people God has brought into our lives. Let’s look into God's word to see where we are being challenged to change.

James 5:16
As we continue in our "One Another” series we are going to take some time to look at an often misunderstood passage in the book of James.
Not only has it been misunderstood it has also been neglected in the modern church. It seems that our American individualism has led us to an incorrect view of confession. Contrary to popular belief we need each other in the fight against sin. God did not create us to go it alone. Today, our goal will be to clear up any misunderstandings about confession and begin the process of restoring it to its rightful place in the body of Christ.
