We were meant to draw encouragement and support from each other. This is especially true for those of us who are followers of Jesus for we are part of his family and called the "body of Christ." The apostle Paul serves as an example of someone who although a strong Christian leader, did not run the Christian race alone. The New Testament is full of the names of those who served with Paul and those who served Paul. In 2 Timothy at the end of Paul's ministry and nearing the end of his life, we read his deep desire to have the fellowship of other believers...and when they could not be with him and he felt all alone, he realized that one stood by him the entire time...it was Christ, the Lord. http://www.sermoncloud.com/SFBC/dont-run-alone http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/299/051808----rod-heppell.mp3 Sun, 18 May 2008 16:25:11 CDT Rod Heppell God has not designed us to live in isolation from one another.

What does he mean when he says that we are not to resist an evil person? What is it that he was challenging the people of his day to follow...and what is he calling us to do today?

Each one has corrected us and told that we have missed the true spirit of Christmas..."it isn't this, its that". But each half hour special gives us a different version. This may leave us wondering if there really is one True Spirit of Christmas, or more valuably, it may lead us to wonder if there is some important message in the Gospel Christmas story that we may have missed. I think we do often miss this spirit of Christmas. http://www.sermoncloud.com/SFBC/the-missing-spirit-of-christmas-the-shepherd-response http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/299/10122006----jon-luesink----luke-2.mp3 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 13:53:31 CST Jon Luesink After a whole weekend of Christmas specials, we might come away feeling fairly confused.

John 1:14 is well known and many use the phrase, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us", but do we truly realize the depth of this statement? Do we understand the expression of God's love for us in this very act? As we look at the greatness of our universe and understand that the God of the Bible is truly a big and powerful God we in turn marvel at "who is man that God is mindful of him". This pondering leads us to the humble heart that worships the person of Christ at Christmas.
