Sunday, August 17th Recap...

This past Sunday we continued with our series on 4 major objectives of the church under one overarching purpose, which is of course, to BRING GLORY TO GOD.
This week our time was spent talking about COMMUNITY, also referred to as FELLOWSHIP. Our Bible text came from increasingly familiar Acts 2:42-47 and we also spent time in Romans 12:9-13.
We discuss that Biblical Community:
• originates with God’s people uniting in Jesus’ name
• includes a deep connection with others
• includes a giving of ourselves to one another

Isn’t it amazing how God has uniquely placed US together to build each other up, to care for each other, to share life and God’s love with one another? We need to take full advantage of Christian Fellowship to fully enjoy all that there is in Christ Jesus and of course, to bring GLORY TO GOD.
