September 8 2016 - Mutual Ministry

We have seen that the Apostle Paul dearly loved the Church. His greatest delight was enhancing the spiritual vitality of believers and receiving their ministry investment into his own life. Paul wrote to the church in Rome, "For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine" (Romans 1:9-12). Invite God to use you to strengthen another believer today, and be open to another's investment into your life.
