WHO BELONGS?

Read Romans 16:1-16 - People were important to Paul. They were the church.

The people of Meadowbrook - If Paul was writing today he might say this:

The Churches in Revelation were corporate bodies made up of individuals

The letters to these churches served to admonish and encourage

Admonish - The people were to repent and change their ways, coming back to Christ

Encourage - The overcomer was to stay the course and stay faithful

Colossians 2:13-15 - Nail to the cross our struggles

Colossians 3:1-4 - Nail to the cross our strengths

Prayer to begin the process. Jerri will sing as people come forward to nail their cards.
