The Series that started last Sunday.....Two-Gather!

Week one of Two-Gather: Heart and Soul!

For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. Matthew 18:20

• You'll never do all God wants you to do without the right people around you.

One day Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his armor, "Come, let's go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side." But he did not tell his father. 1 Samuel 14:1

The Right People to Help Us!

• Navigate obstacles and temptations.

On each side of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost was a cliff; one was called Bozez, and the other Seneh. 1 Samuel 14:4

• Overcome weavering faith.

Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving..." 1 Samuel 14:6

The Right People!

• Are with you heart and soul.

"Do all that you have in mind," his armor-bearer said. "Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul." 1 Samuel 14:7

Week two of Two-Gather: Where Everybody knows your Name!

For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. Matthew 18:20

There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth... Ecclesiastes 4:8

Things that would stop us on building those RELATIONSHIPS:

• Naivety
• Temperament
• Fear
• Past Experiences
• Busyness

Since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others. Romans 12:5

1. Arena - I know and you know.

• I people who really know me.

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?...1 Corinthians 2:11

     2. Mask - I know but you don't know.

• I need people who will protect me.

We refuse to wear masks and play games... Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open... 2 Corinthians 4:2

     3. Blind spots - I don't know but you know.

• I need people who will be honest with me.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6

      4. Potential - I don't know and you don't know.

• I need people who will grow me.

...As each part does its work, it helps the other parts grow, so Christ's whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Ephesians 4:16

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

I'm so listening to the series they teacher or saying to me and I really need to find my HEART & SOUL AND MY PLACE WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS MY NAME: and especially knows me or even wants to know me for who I am and who I will become following the word and our Christ!

Can't wait to start the next series and hear the next series!
