—Colossians 1:3-8
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Expressing love for each other is an observable behavior and is easily detected by visitors to our church. On several occasions, I have asked individuals what made them decide to become a member of our church. The response I often receive is, “I could sense the love and warmth of the members.” Your faith is important, but it is not what draws a non-believer to you or your church. It is your expression of love. People typically first develop a relationship before they discover your faith. Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving for the brethren in Colossae was for their demonstrated love and faith.
