Where do you fit in | Paula Finch | 11th February 2024

Family Church Online

Ps Paula begins unpacking the theme of being Rooted for this year looking at the subject of Discipleship. Colossians 2:6-7 speaks of Spiritual Fullness in Christ (NIV) “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness”. The Vision in Family Church is to Reach, Grow and Empower. As we get rooted in the things of God, and in God's word, our lives begin to overflow, and we share what God in our lives with others.

Paula then uses the example of Nehemiah and how his heart feelings led him to lead rebuilding of the city walls in Jerusalem. He did not sit idly by and watch the city ruin, he recognized the need, found his place and brought about the rebuilding of the walls.

There are masses of things we can become involved in during this year to deepen our faith, become more involved. We are all challenged to look at how we can be part of the ministry of the vision for the church this coming year.
