When the Church helps the Weak

What does it look like to truly care for "those who are weak"?

 In our ongoing study of Paul's letter, we continue to see the responsibilities of a transformed church family. Last week we looked at helping the weak. What does it mean to be involved in helping the weak? Where can you help? Here are some suggestions to take Paul's throughs practically.
  • When someone has a medical situation, (Hospital, ongoing sickness, injury) call them up and offer your help. Take a meal, do some work on their house. Help with general chores that may not be doable by that person at that time.
  • Be aware of those who are struggling with mental difficulties. Listen, don't judge, pray with and for, be "with" them.
  • When you see someone struggling with their faith, be the encourager who listens, prays with, speaks the truth in love. 
  • Ask God who you can encourage TODAY. Then, do what He says. 
The more we follow God's voice and do what He says, the more we will become and remain the truly transformed and healthy church that God wants us to be. 

Pray and ask God who you can help today, and every day.

Why Do People Leave the Church?

This event is coming to Woodstock, and I would like to invite everyone to attend with me. Here is your chance to experience an Apologetics conference that will (I believe) be encouraging to your faith and confidence in what is truth.

It has also been a primary purpose for them, leaving the Christian faith in general. And here it is, The unhealthy, emotional, and spiritual immaturity of life-long church attenders and believers. These have been people whom they wanted to trust and look up to, but who have lived with an offense, trivial criticalness, judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, inability to relate to current culture, church hurt, etc. These have been some of the most significant factors influencing young people to walk away from the chur...

Keep Silent

Let All the Earth Keep Silent Sunday's message focused on learning to be silent. Silence is perhaps one of the most counter-cultural disciplines we can enter into as Christians. We were challenged to spend 2 minutes of silence twice a day in order to begin shifting our busy and noisy lives. How has your silence been? Have you been able to make time to be silent? If so, what has it been like? We would love to hear. Click here to let us know. If you missed the service, you can watch it by clicking below.
