"So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit." Ephesians 2:19-22

"Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs.

Who will go for us? I said: Here I am. Send me." Isaiah 6:6-8

Do you know the names of the 8 people who live closest to you? Research shows fewer than 10% of Christians can name their nearest neighbors—and less than 1% know something deeper about their lives. Jesus told us to love our neighbors. But loving often begins with something simple: a conversation… maybe even over coffee. Read more here: nashvillebaptists.com/conversation-a…

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So, then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
