We Are Connected In the Church and Should Show It and Practice It

                                Matthew 5:46-47  

                              2 Timothy 3:16 

 

  1. What Can We Learn From What Is Unique

 

               But notice the decending order –

 

               Also notice the elements of our faith that are mentioned

 

                              “churches”  

                              All the brothers –  

                              hearty greetings in the Lord –  

 

  1. What We Can Learn From It’s Intimacy

 

               Paul demonstrates the depth of our connectedness in Christ

 

                              It is a “hearty”

 

                              It is intimate - Greet one another with a holy kiss

                                                                                         

                                             Paul cannot kiss them but

 

                              It is personal – He names people

 

                                             “all the brothers”

                                             Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house,­ -

                                            

                               What’s with the “HAND”  -

 

                                              John 20:27

                               

You are connected…..

              

Don’t hide and avoid….
