November 27-December 3, 2017: count on me

Hi Parents!
​We are not designed to live in a vacuum, struggling to follow Christ on our own.  God created us to live in community, to challenge and to encourage one another, for this is what keeps us strong in our faith.  In the early church, believers depended on one another, living in community and sharing their worldly goods.  Together, they preached the Gospel and grew in faith; and every day their numbers grew.  God calls us to serve one another as we follow Christ, for we fulfill God's purposes when we strengthen one another.  

​The Bible tells us that a friend sticks closer than a sibling (Proverbs 18:24), that two are stronger than one (Ecclesiastes 4:12), that a friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17), and that we are to build up one another (I Thessalonians 5:11).  I have found this and more to be true of my brothers and sisters in Christ, who truly are like family to me.  I know that I can always count on them!

Ask your teen...
A "spiritual ministry family" seeks to know Christ, to study God's word, and to love others.  With whom do you share this kind of friendship?
​How do you challenge one another to pray, to grow in faith, to be the body of Christ?

​Challenge your teen...
​
Encourage a friend in faith this week, with a call, text, hug or prayer.

Prayer...
​Dear God, may those who need me find a listening ear.  Give me a calm and patient spirit to hear and to help.  Amen.
