INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON
What a delight today to welcome all our guests who have come to attend the annual Alumni Postgraduate Convention. We’re glad you’re here and that you’ve chosen to worship with us today! APC is always a high Sabbath in the worship life of the Loma Linda University Church.
We are currently in a series entitled, “The Best Thing You Can Do.” Our purpose has been to look at different facets of our lives and try to understand what God, in Scripture, might suggest are the most important things we can do in those areas of our lives. Today our topic is, “The Best Thing You Can Do for Others.
The Bible is consistently interested in how we treat others. We are to care about them, pray for them, encourage them, share the gospel with them and love them.
In fact, the New Testament contains many statements including the words, “one another.” It repeatedly urges us to “love one another,” “forgive one another,” “encourage one another,” “be compassionate to one another,” and the list could go on. Clearly, the writers of the New Testament were very clear on the fact that we need one another in the body of Christ.
But of all the different directives regarding how we are to treat others, which is the most important? That is the topic of today’s sermon! Join us!
God’s best to you – and to all the “others” in your life!

Senior Pastor
