1 Thessalonians 1:7 And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

If people said you were a model citizen – who would that model be based on?

If we live for the world, we will reflect the world. If we live for something, we will become a reflection of that something!

Living for Christ and doing what He has taught us to do will mean we become a model of Christ – that way we can encourage the world with Hope!

Mark 3:25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

When Jesus was confronted by people saying He had a devil in Him, He confronted them with simple logic!

The best teams in the world play together as a team! That is the essence of many sports – as long as you all play together as one, you are better than your opponents!

Jesus wanted all to know this is pertinent to us as humans; our soul, body and spirit need to work as one team to be good.  

We cannot be like Christ unless we work as one – just as God works as one!

Mark 5:17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

Are you going to accept what Jesus does in your life – or will you rebel too?

When the people heard of the things Jesus had done, they became afraid they would lose their worldly possessions and begged Him to leave them alone!

Jesus actually does know what is best for us – but we will not always like the answer to our prayers...

When you pray, how precise are you?
