Connections and Relationships
Celebrating the Faithfulness of God (1900-1905) Rev. N.B. Williamson
1 Peter 4:10, 11b (NLT) God has given each of you a gift from his great spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. …Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
 
 
God plants and God grows people by way of connections. The connections grow into relationships that He purposes to serve Him. These establishments are tied into His Kingdom. The activities, efforts, and interactions of service produced through the church are everywhere because God plants His people throughout the various local, regional, and national areas of the economy. God is the Source of His church; and God’s people (the church) are their own greatest resource – through connections and relationships! God is faithful to see that the solidarity of His church is comprised of everyone and everything needed to equip His people to be able to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the entire world! Thinking on this, one can better see why it is difficult and unproductive to live an isolated life. Every human being has someone waiting to connect to and relate with them for the sake of their work for the Kingdom.
Are you actively engaged within the sphere of your family and community? Everyone has a purpose in the Kingdom. Be sure you’re walking in yours.
