Happy Thanksgiving! This week Steve and Rich wrap up the topic of the last couple of weeks by talking about loving your brother and sister in Christ. How is loving your brother and sister different than loving your neighbor? Steve and Rich both reference some scripture passages that help to clarify what this means. This really is a unique and special command! It really comes down to viewing fellow Christians as the family of God. Part of being in the family of God means being intentional about developing relationships that will bring those "iron sharpens iron" moments. It is so beneficial for growth but also for support and comfort in times of crisis. Rich brings up that this is totally aligned with the New Testament instruction to love one another - but it isn't something that can be done on the fly. It takes an investment. Another key part of loving your brother and sister in Christ is speaking truth in love. Steve points to Ephesians 4 as a great passage to support this. This and so much more is discussed, we would encourage you to take note on how you love your brothers and sisters in Christ!
