Working Together
Saturday, November 22, 2025Key Verse
“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
Text — 1 Corinthians 3:5-13
Message
Apostle Paul was a great missionary that spread the gospel of Christ through the world at his own time. He did not work alone, he had many people who laboured with him to expand the ministry. Example of such people were Barnabas, Timothy, John Mark, Apollos and others. They all worked together to fulfill God’s call and to expand God’s kingdom. Now they are all in heaven enjoying their rewards. Now is our own time to work for God. God wants us to work together with those whose strength can help our weakness.
Whenever we do something for God, we need to be humble; either by relying on God to use us in spite of our weakness or by letting others help us and allowing them to share in the joy of serving God. Remember though, if we make excuses and expect God to use someone else to do the work, we cannot grow in our faith. God wants us to learn to depend on Him and also be willing to humbly work side by side with others so as to achieve heaven’s goal. Be a good partner in preaching and doing the work of God. Jesus is coming soon
