Grow in the relationships that will be needed to help us to accomplish what God designed us to accomplish. All of us are going to need relationships. We cannot accomplish what we are going to accomplish on our own.
I want us to look at Acts 4:31. And as you know there had been a mighty revival in the early church in this context. Many people had been saved; therefore, they had a relationship with Christ. But a relationship with Christ needed to be strengthened by a relationship with one another as believers. So they banded together, that is what this verse is about. And it has something to say to us about the importance of Chris ...
