Lingua...

Almost there! Let's continue our journey through Pastor Joy's sermon, in which she shared with us an alphabetical list showing the characteristics of Christian community.

Praying as we pursue purpose: We're not guessing. We're fully aware of what God has told us to do, and our prayers are reflective of our certainty.

Quick to show gratitude and peacefulness: In other words, when we're in a position to do something we do it right away. There's no reason for hesitation when it comes to being thankful and extending peacefulness to everyone.

Radical in our obedience to Christ: Whatever it takes, we must obey God rather than men. The first seven chapters of Acts are a wonderful testimony of radical obedience to our Lord Jesus.

Submitted to godly leadership: If you believe that God is leading your pastors, then submit to the leadership of those pastors.

Touching the untouchable: Intentionally loving and serving the disenfranchised of our community, reflecting into their lives the image of Jesus.

Tomorrow, we'll finish the alphabet. Today, let's take time to pray that these characteristics will be evident in our lives, for the sake of our Lord and His kingdom.
