Welcome to South! We're glad you joined us today. Below you will find some sermon notes and Bible passages, to help you follow along with Pastor Scott's message. We are in a series called "Essentials of a Healthy Church". We hope you will be encouraged by what is taught today.

A church that truly wants to be healthy and strong will be one in which the people will strive to have such a statement said about them ("they turned the world upside down") our of their commitment to being an influencer for him.

1) Confidence in the power of God and the gospel (evidenced by prayer and action).

2) Commitment to please God

3) Love for people

Paul used the illustration of a mother and child.

A love that he said caused him to… 1) Act gently toward them. 2) Sacrificially care for them. 3) Willingly labor hard among them. 4) Carefully teach and encourage them.
