Kicking off on the morning session of the third day of Mid-Year Conference, Pastor Ice brought the first word session on “Building Together,” providing a profound exploration into unity and collective growth, inspired by Philippians 1:1-7. Pastor Joseph Ice delivered a powerful sermon, emphasizing the importance of community, participation, and faith.
Pastor Ice began by highlighting the significance of being present and allowing the positive elements of our surroundings to influence us. He encouraged everyone to be open and receptive to the spiritual environment of the conference. The essence of fellowship and learning from one another is crucial in our journey of faith.
Participation is key to building a strong community. Pastor Ice reminded us that active involvement in church activities and functions fosters a sense of belonging and strengthens our collective mission. By contributing our time, talents, and resources, we play a vital role in the growth and success of our community.
Faith was a central theme in the sermon. Pastor Ice passionately spoke about the power of faith, emphasizing that it is through faith that we achieve results. He encouraged us to nurture our faith, reminding us that it is a powerful force that can move mountains and bring about change in our lives and the lives of others.
Generosity was another important aspect discussed. Pastor Ice urged us to give with understanding, to recognize the significance and impact of our contributions. Giving should not be done out of obligation, but with a clear understanding of its purpose and the blessings it brings both to the giver and the receiver.
Lastly, Pastor Ice reassured us that we all possess the grace to stand out. He encouraged us to embrace our unique gifts and talents, and to use them to make a positive impact. By recognizing and utilizing our individual strengths, we contribute to the collective strength of our community.
The session was a profound reminder of the power of unity, participation, and faith.
As we continue to build together, let us carry forward the lessons learned and strive to create a community that reflects the love and grace of Christ. May we always remember that through faith, understanding, and active involvement, we can achieve great things together.
