And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.

Hebrews 10:24

Quotes my neighbor has said to me:

“Every time I am at the hospital undergoing another test or treatment, I think of our Tuesday morning Bible class, and it gives me comfort. I know that every member of the group is praying for me.”

“Battling cancer has been a blessing for me. My faith is so much stronger. I have become closer to God. Many times, I can’t sleep at night. I get up and read my Bible. It is just God and me. It is like He is talking with me.”

“Are you going to Bible class this morning? I don’t want to miss it and could use a ride.”

In Christian communities, we pray for each other, share our faith, and we show that we care. My neighbor taught me this.

Lord, thank You for using my neighbor to enrich my faith. Amen.

Reflect: How could you use PSC (Praying, Sharing, Caring) to build stronger congregational communities?
