(Fill in the blanks.)
Element 1. Embrace your friends.
New Christian brothers and sisters.
Laces that hold it all together.
Slide:
*Acts 20:* *1*After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to /himself,/ embraced /them,/ and departed to go to Macedonia.*NKJV*

After the uproar had ceased…
He gathers all his Christian brothers.
/Embraces them./
He hugs them.
If you want to grow in your New Life.
Embrace your friends.
Let them in your life.
Tell them how much they mean to you.
Tell them how much you need them.
You can’t do it without them.
We need each other.

The 2nd Element of Growth.
2. Encourage one another.
Slide:
*Acts 20:2*Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece *3*and stayed three months.

When you build each other up~/you build the church up.
We’re beginning to see main Elements of Growth.

*Acts 20:4*And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
*5*These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.
