Uncommon Fellowship: Stand For One Another

Sermon By Community Care Pastor Janice Shepard
This Sunday we'll be talking about the Uncommon
Fellowship of Standing with One Another.
To "stand with", means to "unite with someone, as in defense." It's an Uncommon Fellowship because in today's culture, it's more common for people to look out for themselves than for someone else.
But when we become Christ followers, we are bound together in this community of faith. A community of diverse people who all unite together for a common purpose- to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ!
We become a part of a family where we belong to each other, look out for each other and build each other up, despite our differences.

It can be easy and rewarding to stand with someone
when we seem to be making a difference in their life.
But what happens when the situation doesn't seem to be improving? Or when our peace or security or comfort is being threatened by the situation?
Sunday, we will take an intimate look at the story of one faithful woman who chose to stand with someone even when it came at a great cost to her.
When Ruth chooses to cling to her mother-in-law Naomi instead of doing the easier thing, God brings about the most unexpected
and beautiful redemption imaginable.
Join us Sunday, as we are encouraged to stand strong
and stand WITH one another!
