AUGUST 7th…YOU GROW BETTER TOGETHER!! We live in a self-centered world where people think of themselves more than they consider others. It’s an easy trap to get caught up in as you struggle to make it week to week. But, God did not design us to exist on our own. We are created to be part of a community. Spiritually we are also designed to be part of a community that will help us grow as we help others. (Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:) You cannot grow to your spiritual maturity potential by yourself. You can try it, but you are going to be lonely, weak, and spiritual stunted. The more you involve other people in your life who are strong in the Lord, the more you will grow to spiritual maturity. (Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.) There are 56 “one another” commands in the Bible that you cannot obey unless you’re in a group. Love one another. Care for one another. Help one another. Encourage one another. Pray for one another. Share with one another. God designed us so that we have to be connected in his family in order to grow. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
