Title: Celbrating God's Faithfulness


I. A community of believers shaped
by the Word of God! 

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. 
1 Thessalonians 2:13

A community of believers shaped by the Word of God! 

II. A community of believers
characterized by love! 

Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more. 
1 Thessalonians 4:9-10

A community of believers characterized by love! 

III. A community of believers
making disciples!

...the things which you have heard from me in 
the presence of many witnesses entrust these to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 
2 Timothy 2:2

A community of believers making disciples!

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples,The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Matthew 9:35-38

A community of believers making disciples!
