Find Where You Belong

“And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are His heirs, and God's promise to Abraham belongs to you” (Galatians 3:29)

Now that you believe in Jesus, where do you belong? Think about the difference between a sports fan and an actual player on the team. The fan gets to cheer from the sidelines, but a player gets to experience the game. He trains with the team, gets deep camaraderie, and feels the amazing joy of winning. When the first believers put their faith in Jesus, they formed an incredible community, much like a team: “All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer” (Acts 2:42).

God has a place for you to belong on the team. He wants you to experience the fulfillment of deep friendship with other believers, the training from spiritual coaches, and the joy of winning as a team. I remember how intensely my life changed when I became a part of a church: I went from being a casual believer on the sidelines to being a full participant in the game, and my joy level went from 0 to 100. Now I want the same for you!

Here are some ways that you can belong and experience the amazing joy of being on a team:

Join a Church:Meeting with a local group of believers will give you the amazing benefits of a spiritual family. “I found a home away from home through the church” (Dena)

Join a Bible Study: Study the Bible, ask questions, and pray together in an online small group. “I have actually gained a more intimate relationship with God” (Joe)

Join our Chapel:Join with other believers anytime to worship and learn about Jesus. Inspiring worship music, great preaching, and live prayer. “I love God Life family chapel” (Odame)

Join our Facebook Community: Hear from other believers like yourself! Share testimonies, pray for each other, and get our latest content. “FB Godlife is great for us Christians. I strongly recommend it for all” (Bello)

Hopefully these opportunities are helpful to you!You can try them all if you want! Let us know how we can pray for you by responding to this e-mail.

So this week, let’s pray together that:
  • We would find other Christians to join together with
  • We would help newer believers grow in their faith in God
  • www.GodLife.com will be a safe, healthy place for Christians to grow in their faith
THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God loves you!
