Growing

We have been so very blessed this year in Christ Jesus! We’ve had 6 baptisms since late January and three placed membership with us. One also responded for the prayers of the church. We rejoice and pray for all of these, but like brother Marshall Keeble, we are praying for “just one more, Lord”.

We are climbing up out of the pandemic pit and are so excited about our work here at Naff Avenue. We are looking for more to be baptized into Christ, more to place membership with us, and more to be restored. Please remember the principle from 1 Corinthians 3:6- “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase”.

A congregation’s growth is not the result of one, two, or even ten people. It is all of us doing our part to work in and for the kingdom of the Lord. We are not focused on ourselves or our personal desires, but what is best for Naff Avenue congregation in accordance with the Holy Scriptures. Let us never forget that and always strive to assemble and work together in a spirit of unity, joy, and love.

Let us be encouraging, loving, and helping to our new members and those who recently put on Jesus in baptism. I love what 1 Thessalonians 3:12 teaches, “And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you”.

Friends, let love for the Lord and our fellow man define us as we “study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV).



Stay true to the Word,

Brother Travis
