The After Party

1. GET PLUGGED IN AND GET CONNECTED!

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another...”

Hebrews 10:25 (NIV)

“Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.’”

1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)

“A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

2. SERVE AND SERVE WITH THE HEART OF EXCELLENCE!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might...”

Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)

“For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. ...”

1 Corinthians 12:15-17 (ESV)

3. ISOLATION IS A WEAPON OF THE ENEMY!

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

Proverbs 18:1 (ESV)

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in

them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
