Maintaining Your Spiritual Edge (Part 12)

Speaker: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti
Series: Maintaining Your Spiritual Edge

Preacher: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti | Series: Maintaining Your Spiritual Edge

1.  We need fellowship with other Christians (source: A Compact Guide to the Christian Life)

-to help us grow more like Christ (Christlike character traits are formed in relationships)

-to help us testify to the truth of the gospel (John 13:34,35)

-to help us do the work of the Kingdom (our gifts complement other’s gifts in the Body)

-to worship with us (“… [God] can be adequately worshipped only by a gathered community of His people”)

-to be Christ for us (though God loves us, there are times we need “love with skin on”)

-to help keep us on track (about what the Word says)

-to help us surrender to God

2.  Rather than focus on our limitations, we must creatively approach life.

3.  Creativity is not a question of whether I am or am not a creative person, it’s a question of how much of my creativity am I using?  We must read, grow, take on new challenges.  Creativity is a matter of resources/information, attitude, experimentation, variety, wisdom, and time.
