Connected And Constructed | Pastor Devin Gough

Growth isn’t about me, it’s about we! This weekend Pastor Devin Gough shared a message about the blessing of remaining connected to the body of Christ.Ephesians 4:16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.Growth doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens through connection. How can we do our part in the body of Christ?1) Grow by being joined.Hebrews 10:24Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.The church is not an organization, it is a living organism. Each part helps the other grow.2) Grow by serving in your place.1 Corinthians 12:27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.Every part of the body of Christ has a place. When one part is disconnected, the whole body hurts!3) Grow by building in love.Colossians 3:14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.Love is the cement that holds each brick of God’s house together. God’s rescuing love for each one of us is the reason we can remain united as one body!
