TOPIC: CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER (PART 2)

TEXT: Matt.25:35-40; Acts 20:28; 2Cor.11:28
From the introductory part of this message, we have seen the need
to care for our newcomers and one another in the church. We should
realise that Christian life is all about caring for others and not self
(1Cor.10:32-33). So, knowing the importance of this message, we
shall study how we can effectively care for one another for the well-
being of the church.
We shall consider the following sub-headings:-
1. Qualification, Evidence And The Reasons
2. The Ways Of Caring And Effect
1. QUALIFICATION EVIDENCE AND THE REASONS
Whoever that will be qualified to care for one another must be truly
born again (Luke 22:31-32). Simon Peter could not care for others
while in his backslidden state; as well, unbelievers cannot; one that
is not born again or a backslider will be full of him/herself and will
not care for others (John 12:24). When one is born again he/she will
know the value of a soul and the will of God; the reason being that
such a person will have the mind of Christ and God.
2. THE WAYS OF CARING AND EFFECT
We shall care for others by visiting them and also by teaching them
to live right, help others to be serious and regular in the church.
Also, providing their needs, praying for them and ensuring that they
do not miss any fellowship with God (Matt.25:35-40; Acts 15:36;
Acts 6:1-4); and the effect will be love, unity and growth in the
church (Acts 2:44-47).
Your welfare in eternity is God’s concern and ours;

TOPIC: CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER (PART 1)

TEXT: Psalm 142:4; 2Cor.11:28; Heb.13:1
Everyone should know that our Christian life is expressed by love,
whoever that is truly born again will demonstrate it by the love or care
he/she has for others (Rom.9:1-3; Rom.10:1-3; 1Cor.13:5). We should
begin to care for one another and the newcomers in order to establish
them because of the love of God.
We shall consider this message under the following sub-headings:-
1. The Reasons And Effect
2. Our Expected Response And The Warning
1. THE REASONS AND EFFECT
We all should know how those before lived their Christian life or kept
the legacy our Master Jesus Christ laid for us to follow after (Acts
15:36; Acts 2:44-45; John 13:3-5, 13-17). We should know that some
people out there are looking for those who will care for them as our
Lord Jesus Christ reached out to them during His earthly ministry
(Matt.9:33-36; John 5:7-8; Matt.25:34-36-40). So, we should visit our
newcomers often to see how they do; we should visit and help one
another; and as we do we shall be blessed and make heaven at last;
besides, the church will grow and multiply daily (Acts2:46-47).
2. OUR EXPECTED RESPONSE AND THE WARNING
If we allow the newcomers to backslide because we refuse to visit
them and establish them, the Lord will require their blood from our
hands (1Kings 20:39-40; Ezekiel 33:6). We should care for one
another, help the needy and if we fail to do so, we shall be considered
as wicked (Matt.25:41-46). So, we should be warned to sit up and
begin to care for one another.
