The Practice of our Fruit  Fruit of the Spirit, Part II

 

The Fruit of the Spirit is the continual and indispensable application of God's work in us that spurs our growing, effectual, spiritual development. This, in turn, assembles the elements we need to further build and live out our faith so we can effectively and graciously relate to others around us.

 



 

Leading your heart-not letting your heart lead you!

 


Growing in Christ is the key to growing a faith, a family and a church!

Church Growth Tip of the Week

 

Leaders of growing churches empower the people in their care. They do not see or use volunteers just as helpers, but as the tools and the prime resources with which to glorify God, and enablers of the goals of missions and needs to be reached. They do this by encouragement, training, and organization, all centered to have the people of God growing in and receiving the Spirit in order to reach the full potential that God has for them. If a pastor, coach, or key supervisor gives special recognition and encouragement even once, that leader and/or volunteer will usually remain very faithful and loyal to the church! (Romans 12; John 4:23; Colossians 1:24-29; 1 Timothy 4:15-16)

 

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

 

Pray that the congregation is willing and able to come and support the church and staff with grateful hands and words, and that you all realize that the pastors and leadership are necessary and called and accountable to God (Matt. 9:37; Acts 14; 1 Tim. 3:1-7, 10-15; 5:22-23).

Last Week's Bible Study Lessons

 

How well do you know the Bible?



www.discipleshiptools.org/pages.asp?pageid=60400


Join us on some studies to help you Understand the Bible better. The purpose of these articles is to show you the relevance and importance of studying the Bible. In so doing, when you apply God's Word in you and your life, you will be better able to teach it to others too. Also, make sure you check out our main book, Into Thy Word!

Colossians 4:7-18

 




 


 


 


 


 

 

Bible Studies for a Successful Recovery on our sister site!

 


 


 

 

 

You can help us to provide free quality Biblical resources to over 5,000 people each day all over the world. We are teaching thousands of pastors in over 80 countries, and we are greatly under funded. Unlike other ministries, we do not charge for our materials or ask for remuneration.

 


 







 

We Need Your Partnership! Why?

 

What happens when you support us?

 

Unlike a lot of good ministries, you are not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively. A pastor in Central Asia who makes a mere $60 a month can have access to a library of solid biblical resources, sermons and studies as well as practical effectual help to lead and manage their church. You help a person who wants to be a pastor to be trained, such as how to exegete Scripture, prepare sermons and how to grow themselves and their flock in Christ. Thus, you help people like Pastor Narula to not take the limited money to feed his family and divert it to feed his church, now he can do both. You help Pastor Sanjiv to spend the time to council and help his people because we help him administer his church. You help a young man named Babu prepare to become a pastor. You help us stay in full time ministry ministering to over 10,000 pastors worldwide (this does not even include the 5,000 people who use our web resources each day!)!
