Life Lesson (verse 1 Thessalonians 1:1)
Grace always comes before peace in the Bible. Try it at home. Lack peace? Give more grace at the house and in life, not more law.
Life Lesson (verse 1 Thessalonians 1:8)
It is important to reach beyond the four walls of the church. We reach out through Cross the Bridge, in other ways across the nation and into our community.
Gal 5:22-25 NKJV
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Acts 1:8 NKJV
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
