War theme. Are we Crazy? ARE WE REALLY AT WAR? I MEAN REALLY? WAR? REALLY?

we are at war Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. (4) No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. 2 Tim 2:3-4

What does war look like?

Band Of Brothers: GAC Church Life FELLOWSHIP; DISCIPLESHIP; ACCOUNTABILITY; DISCIPLINE; UNITY; SPIRITUAL GIFTS; SPIRITUAL HEALTH AND GROWTH; PURPOSES OF CHURCH; SACRIFICIAL LIVING; LOOKING OUT FOR THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS ACTS 2:44 ALL THE BELIEVERS WERE TOGETHER AND HAD EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

WHAT DOES THE CHURCH LOOK LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF WAR? WE FEW, WE HAPPY FEW, WE BAND OF BROTHERS. FOR HE TODAY THAT SHEDS HIS BLOOD WITH ME SHALL BE MY BROTHER;

LESSONS FROM EASY COMPANY 1.MARCH IN UNISON TOGETHER WITH ONE PURPOSE.

1 John 2:12-14 “I WRITE TO YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, BECAUSE YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NAME. I WRITE TO YOU, FATHERS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE KNOWN HIM WHO IS FROM THE BEGINNING. I WRITE TO YOU, YOUNG MEN, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OVERCOME THE EVIL ONE. I WRITE TO YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, BECAUSE YOU HAVE KNOWN THE FATHER. I WRITE TO YOU, FATHERS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE KNOWN HIM WHO IS FROM THE BEGINNING. I WRITE TO YOU, YOUNG MEN, BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONG, AND THE WORD OF GOD LIVES IN YOU, AND YOU HAVE OVERCOME THE EVIL ONE.

GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER IN THE FOX HOLES Freezing their butts off by minus 25 degrees Celsius... German bullets flying around your head, stuck in a fox hole in the forests in Belgium, seeing your buddy getting shot by the jerries... No supplies coming in...

Camaraderie: “The special relationship that exists between soldiers that have experienced the crucible of combat together.” HEBREWS 3:12-14 SEE TO IT, BROTHERS, THAT NONE OF YOU HAS A SINFUL, UNBELIEVING HEART THAT TURNS AWAY FROM THE LIVING GOD. BUT ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER DAILY, AS LONG AS IT IS CALLED TODAY, SO THAT NONE OF YOU MAY BE HARDENED BY SIN'S DECEITFULNESS. WE HAVE COME TO SHARE IN CHRIST IF WE HOLD FIRMLY TILL THE END THE CONFIDENCE WE HAD AT FIRST.

CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER

Philippians 2:4-5  EACH OF YOU SHOULD LOOK NOT ONLY TO YOUR OWN INTERESTS, BUT ALSO TO THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS.  YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THAT OF CHRIST JESUS:
