Emphasis Preaching Journal

As a means of advertising their presence in a community, one church had key chains made. Inscribed on the tag was the church's name and a heart with a cross on it. Above the heart were the words, "you are the key to our success!" Like Paul, we can find many creative ways to say to our friends and to God in prayer, I give thanks to God -- especially for you! The gift of community in Christ links us together spiritually, bringing both responsibilities and the privilege of communion with one another.
