A Table of Believers


John 13:35
New King James Version (NKJV)
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Last weekend Kenny and I were blessed with the opportunity to partake in the celebration of a friend's special birthday. It was one of those times where a long table didn't do the party as much justice as a large round table would have. It was beautiful yet my heart and ears were straining to hear EVERYTHING that was being said by EVERYONE at the table. When a group of believers get together, there is a love for God and a love for one another that just flows and flows and flows. We have grown with each other in the Lord over the years and we have such a deep love for one another. Only the Spirit of God can unite people like that. Our conversations revolved around our love for Jesus and what He has done for us. This motivates us and births the desire in us to spread the "Good News" of the gospel, so that others can experience the same forgiveness and grace that He has imparted to us. There is something very special that transpires when believers get together. We are knit together by His Holy Spirit. It is such a beautiful thing...

Colossians 2:2
New King James Version (NKJV)
2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and[a] of Christ,

If you desire to be part of this family, all are welcome and invited. This is not an exclusive club. This is the family of God.

John 1:12
New King James Version (NKJV)
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
