00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720
This is Pastor Daniel Seanson. I'm director of the Southside Life Station and

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,480
pastor of the United Soul Shed Baptist Church of East Toledo and you're receiving this

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,880
message because you opted in to be encouraged. We have been working through

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,320
Galatians 6, 7 to 10 and we're coming to the end of that road now, four weeks in,

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,820
6, 7, 6, 10 rather says this. So then while we have opportunity, let us do good to

6
00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:29,320
all people and especially to those who are of the household of faith. This verse

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,000
can be a challenge for some folks especially folks who don't necessarily go

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,400
to church or participate in a local body of worship. The entire New Testament

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,720
beginning to end was written in the context of the church. It was written for

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,160
the church, by the church, to the church, read in the church, passed around in the

11
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,440
church, recognized by the church, the local church, local bodies all agreeing

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,440
independently but not dependent, but dependent on God. There we go,

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,680
independently but dependent on God. What the Bible would be and what they would

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,320
do about it. So then while we have the opportunity, that's right now, there's a

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,760
lot of evil in the world but we're not going to be part of it, we're going to do

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,040
good. Let us do good to all people. Boy, we need to try to bless everyone we

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,080
possibly can. Look out for people to smile, to open the door for help, give a

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,280
hand up, give them money, serve them, whatever needs to be done to do

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,200
good. Do good under God. Don't just go wasting God's resources but to do good

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,600
and then especially it says to those who are of the household of faith. Those of

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,120
us who are following the Lord Jesus Christ but have not found a local church

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,500
home are going to really answer for that last half of that verse when the time

23
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:41,680
comes. If you're especially supposed to do good to those who are of the

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,040
household of faith, you can have a hard time explaining why you're not in the

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,440
household of faith doing good. I would encourage you to find a local church and

26
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,600
participate as this word and many others command and I would also encourage you to

27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,920
do good at every opportunity. No one can stop you from doing whatever you're

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,920
capable of in the Lord. To opt out of receiving future messages from this

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:25,040
group.
