Encourage One Another
If there is one important truth that we need to be reminded again and again, it is the fact that each one of us is touching people in our sphere of influence that likely no one else will touch. I wonder if we have truly recognized the value of this influences that God has given us. Are we using these influences positively?nfluence that likely no one else will touch.

Bear One Another's Burden
As we talk about intimate connectivity within our church, it forces us to ask: How close are our members to one another? Are they close enough that when they are hurting, others will be there for them to minister? Are people sensitive with what’s going on not only with their own lives, but with other members as well? Are members conscious of praying for one another? Do our people trust each other enough that they will be willing to be transparent and vulnerable with one another?

Devoted To One Another
We started with a new theme – Building a BCI Church. Instead of understanding BCI as Bible Church International, we are using BCI to mean a Body Connected Intimately! Perhaps, you have some ideas on how we can be a healthier church like adding more programs and activities, building a better facility, raising more leaders, or enhancing our worship services. All of these are important for our church, but there is an area that is often neglected in most churches that we want to emphasize once again in our context. This is healthy relationships.
