Share your Gift!
 
"I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you"
- Romans 1:11


If you were with us this past Sunday, we looked at how we are called to share with other believers as we gather together.  We share what God is doing, we share encouragement from scripture, we share our burdens, and we share our spiritual gifts!  I asked a question Sunday that I want to repeat as we head into another weekend - What would our Sunday's be like if we all came, desperate to share God's working and God's gifting with each other, in order to encourage and strengthen one another?

I know it's easy to get into a habit of attending to be served, but what if we took on the attitude of Jesus, and attended in order to serve one another?

I want to challenge you as you prepare to gather again on Sunday - pray for your brothers and sisters at Cross Timbers, ask God to give you an opportunity to encourage and strengthen someone here on Sunday, and then I challenge you to take your conversations at Church deeper.  Seek to truly care for one another, seek to pray for one another, and seek to help each other grow in Christ as we worship together.

I can't wait to be together again on Sunday!!

Blessings, Pastor Jeremy

"They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. 
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."     Jeremiah 17:8
