Multiplying Possibilities

Multiplying Possibilities!

There are some incredible things we can do collectively, that we could never do alone.

Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. Leviticus 26:8 ESV

Partnership multiplies possibilities…

Getting together is good; Staying together is better; Working together is God.

For we are God's fellow workers. 1 Corinthians 3:9 ESV

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 ESV

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 ESV

Conviction and Compromise are both contagious, but you get to choose which you catch and which you spread!

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT

Our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. 1 Corinthians 12:18-22 NLT

Comparison is poison to partnership and diminishes the possibilities.

You are beautifully gifted and called to be you!

Comparison leads to self-centered serving that limits potential.

All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages. 1 Corinthians 12:27-28 NLT

So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts. But now let me show you a way of life that is best of all. 1 Corinthians 12:31 NLT

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 ESV

We includes me and you!

The Kingdom isn’t built by hired hands, but by willing hands and hearts!

The church doesn’t consist of one person anymore than an orchard consist of one tree.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Treasure in Jars of Clay But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 ESV
