Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Romans 14:19.
The Apostle Paul writes to the saints at Rome and he urges them about becoming a hinderance to others in their spiritual growth. But instead, he tells them to make every effort to do those things that leads to peace and mutual edification of others. Which means, believers should work at edifying and build up one another in the ministry of Winning Souls for Christ. By not causing anyone to stumble in their relationship with Jesus. But encourage them to continue to grow and use their gifts to the glory of God. If we are not careful, we can cause others to stumble with our words and actions. Paul instructs the believers to follow after the things which make for peace and that might edify one another. Are we pursuing peace in the body of Christ? If not, we can become the problem with the body.
Church, let us pursue and push towards doing all we can to help build up and not tear down the body Christ. By using our words to encourage and our actions to enhance one another to the glory of God.

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you. II Corinthians 9:1.
Our Usher Board Prayer Breakfast is Saturday, April 12th from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. This is a time set aside to fellowship with one another in breaking bread and receiving a word from the Lord. Also a time to reflect on those clouds of witness’ who have gone on to glory.
Church, let us as a body of believers pray for and support them in their annual ministry endeavor. Thank you goes out to Sis. Peggy Jackson for her leadership along with everyone working with her behind the scenes.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Prayer Breakfast!
