The Strengthening Effect of Shared Christian Life

Sermon Application Questions:1. Are you meaningfully and regularly engaged in shared life with other believers? What does that look like for you? If not, what steps might you take to pursue that? 2. Run through the six “effects” of shared life Paul names in I Thessalonians 3:6-13 (i.e., thanksgiving, joy, earnest prayer, longing to do others good, love, and holiness). Which of these do you feel are strongly present in your shared experience? With which do you feel there is room for growth? 3. Pick just one of these areas you desire to see growth in. What first step might you take in that direction? Know that God is ready to meet you one step down the path of obedience.__________________________________________Music and Lyrics Used by Permission CCLI# 1595532
