Throughout the New Testament the word “saints” is always in the plural form. This is a clear indication that none of us can develop into the full-fledged Christians we were meant to be on our own.
We all need each other. More specifically, we all need the most mature version of each other.
A key component of an individual saint’s development is the time spent alone being forged by the discipline of the Holy Spirit. Maturing saints then come together with each other to continue to strengthen and sharpen everyone in the church. Strong individual saints make a strong church, and a strong church makes strong individual saints!
Join me for our new series called Saints Together. We will be studying the six spiritual disciplines that each individual saint must put into practice so that they can use their newly developed strengths to help other saints in their own development.
Check out all of these messages here:
- Introduction—It Takes All Of Us
- Spiritual discipline #1: Studying our Bibles—Living Out The Living Word
- Spiritual discipline #2: Solitude—A Proactive Pause
- Spiritual discipline #3: Giving—The Joy Of Giving
- Spiritual discipline #4: Fasting—Fasting Unlocks Feasting
- Spiritual discipline #5: Prayer—Loving Fighters
- Spiritual discipline #6: Confession—Moving Toward Maturity
