How
wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
Partners are always sought after in the work we are doing through The
Community Fellowship. Our desire is to
point people toward Jesus. It is not
about building our church, but it is about building the big “C” church or the
kingdom of God. When we partner with
others, this becomes a reality.
By choosing to partner with other people we make a loud statement to the
people we live around. Most people think
that Christians and churches fight or are in competition, and in reality we
have all experienced this. Competition
could not be further from what God commanded His children to be about. We are to work together to make the world
stronger all the while sharing Jesus with everyone we meet.
If the goal is to fill one church or to make one organization bigger or
better than others, then we fail. We all
fail. When the goal is to make our
community stronger as a whole, we all win, and God gets the glory.
That is why seeking partnerships is so very important. We have chosen to partner with some
incredible people and organizations.
Many churches have become our partners in outreach or in serving. Many organizations have linked up in
partnership to help us and them get stronger.
We will partner with almost anyone, but please understand that there is a
reason to be a partner with others. It
is to make each partner stronger and to give glory to God. Not every organization is Christian, but
there are great organizations that aren’t distinctly Christian yet do great
things in our community. God can and
will use everything for His good.
Stretch yourself and those around you.
Don’t neglect or delude your faith.
Stand on what you believe and on what God says is truth, and partner
with others who you can help accomplish their goals and make you stronger
The fact is partnerships make me, our church and others much
stronger. Partnerships bring glory to
God as we work together and not worry about who gets the credit.
The
one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And
both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
NOTE: we really are looking for partners to
serve with. A couple areas we need more
partners is in our weekly feeding ministry and the back2school outreach. Let me know via email (mharrison@thecommunityfellowship.org) if you or your
church/organization would like to discuss partnership.
