Presentation transcript:

Blessings of Being Added to the Church You’re not condemned… but saved like other believers. Acts 2:47 You’re not alone…you’re in the household of God! Eph. 2:19 Did you get that, you’re in the household of God!

Unfortunately… Christians do not always live up to their calling to “walk worthy”. Eph. 4:1 Condemnatory judgments by others. Cp. Matt. 7:1 Strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, etc.. 2 Cor. 12:20 It’s no wonder Christians have difficulty opening up so we can have full fellowship with one another.

Signs of church “growth” We’re not talking numbers,* but true spiritual growth among brethren. Eph. 4:11-16 We’re talking about Christians who are growing out of their comfort zone in doing the work of our Lord: privately and publicly… Christians who are not satisfied with a “social club” setting, but a genuine “servant-minded” heart.

A Significant Sign of church “growth”: Opening Up Fulfilling passages like James 5:16; Galatians 6:1-2 (confessing our sins to one another or confronting a brother/sister in sin with love) shows our love and need for one another in Christ. This is happening more and more within our Franklin church family.

Being Vulnerable = Trusting One Another Brethren are reaching out for prayers and help to our church family… …Exposing their sins, their weaknesses, or intimate petitions...trusting that this church family WILL NOT harm them.

To our Church Family We're ALL sinners... who are (or can be) saved by the blood of Christ. Blessings aside, we have trials and other struggles that are REAL. I want you to know that IT IS OKAY TO BE VULNERABLE: Seek a faithful brother/sister in Christ who you can confide in. Seek this church family to pray for and love you.
