Growth of our Faith

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. — Colossians 2:6-7

Jesus is our center! He is the hub around which we turn. Rather than trying to add on to the truth of Jesus, we must learn to accept it and trust it in child-like faith. But that child-like faith must be nourished and grown. As Jesus remains our central focus and our hearts remain thankful to God for his grace, we will that our faith is strengthened and that Jesus is more real than ever.

Subtle Sin

Do you long for a closer walk with God? Do you really ache to be closer to the Lord? Have you left you first love and lost that calm and heavenly frame? Have you discovered your heart to be hardening in spiritual matters? Has your life become one long materialistic walk? Are you more bothered by all the gadgets of life that go wrong or need replacing? Materialism is not having these things it is craving after these things. Materialism is discontent in one lot in life.. it is indeed a very subtle sin. Do you look back at your early Christian life and miss His sweet fellowship?

Never take your eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ. Never ever look to Self as your saviour. Look to Christ and remain in Christ alone, for He is ALL and He in all in all – in Christ.

Churches meeting in houses

In the Bible, we read that in the first century, believers met in houses and worshipped God.

Acts 2:46
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.  They broke bread  in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,

. House to house
Acts 5:42
Day after day, in the temple courts  and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news  that Jesus is the Messiah.

. House to house
Acts 8:3
But Saul  began to destroy the church.  Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
