The Gift of Gospel Partnership, Part 2

February 20, 2023

There is no greater joy in the Christian life than living together in life-giving Christian community. There is no greater privilege in the Christian life than joining arms with brothers and sisters in the great work of the gospel. It is this privilege and joy that Paul models for us in his own networks of relationships—and then commends to each one of us.

Jesus Christ calls us to a radically counter-cultural way of life—and to a radically counter-cultural new community. Belonging to Jesus—and representing him—has profound practical implications for relationships within the home and the workplace. The challenges of this are great, but the benefits are profound, and the beauty is unparalleled in the world around us.

In an age where we see so much dysfunction within churches, here is a model we need to learn and a message we need to hear.

About Encounter the Truth

Through faithful teaching of the Scriptures, Encounter the Truth seeks to facilitate encounters with the truth of God’s Word—and ultimately, with the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Truth that came down from heaven. Our prayer is that those who do not yet know Jesus will come to a saving knowledge of the truth, that believers will be established in the truth, and that, through this, local churches will be strengthened.
