Our Life Together


The REST of the Story...

There was a great quality of togetherness.

Because we are "in Christ," we are reconciled together forever to God.




That is where it begins with each of us. Essentially, it begins as we make the same responses they made when God harvested their souls during the greatest harvest festival of all on Pentecost.

An old writing called "The Seven Togethers" summarizes the completeness of our union with Christ.

This is where it all begins when we are willing to personally experience the Seven togethers:

When we are willing to

(1) become crucified together with Christ (Gal. 2:20);

(2) become dead together with Christ (Col. 2:20);

(3) be buried together with Christ (Rom. 6:4);

(4) be made alive together with Christ (Eph. 2:5);

(5) be raised together with Christ (Col. 3:1);

(6) become sufferers together with Christ (Rom. 8:17);

(7) become glorified together with Christ (Rom. 8:17).

Let me use the example of the early church as I look to what God has in store for me today on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
