Galatians 6:10 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  This is Pastor Daniel Seanson. I'm director of the Southside Life Station and
• 0:03
  pastor of the United Soul Shed Baptist Church of East Toledo and you're receiving this
• 0:07
  message because you opted in to be encouraged. We have been working through
• 0:11
  Galatians 6, 7 to 10 and we're coming to the end of that road now, four weeks in,
• 0:16
  6, 7, 6, 10 rather says this. So then while we have opportunity, let us do good to
• 0:22
  all people and especially to those who are of the household of faith. This verse
• 0:29
  can be a challenge for some folks especially folks who don't necessarily go
• 0:34
  to church or participate in a local body of worship. The entire New Testament
• 0:39
  beginning to end was written in the context of the church. It was written for
• 0:43
  the church, by the church, to the church, read in the church, passed around in the
• 0:47
  church, recognized by the church, the local church, local bodies all agreeing
• 0:52
  independently but not dependent, but dependent on God. There we go,
• 0:57
  independently but dependent on God. What the Bible would be and what they would
• 1:01
  do about it. So then while we have the opportunity, that's right now, there's a
• 1:06
  lot of evil in the world but we're not going to be part of it, we're going to do
• 1:08
  good. Let us do good to all people. Boy, we need to try to bless everyone we
• 1:13
  possibly can. Look out for people to smile, to open the door for help, give a
• 1:17
  hand up, give them money, serve them, whatever needs to be done to do
• 1:21
  good. Do good under God. Don't just go wasting God's resources but to do good
• 1:26
  and then especially it says to those who are of the household of faith. Those of
• 1:30
  us who are following the Lord Jesus Christ but have not found a local church
• 1:34
  home are going to really answer for that last half of that verse when the time
• 1:38
  comes. If you're especially supposed to do good to those who are of the
• 1:41
  household of faith, you can have a hard time explaining why you're not in the
• 1:45
  household of faith doing good. I would encourage you to find a local church and
• 1:48
  participate as this word and many others command and I would also encourage you to
• 1:52
  do good at every opportunity. No one can stop you from doing whatever you're
• 1:56
  capable of in the Lord. To opt out of receiving future messages from this
• 2:01
  group.
