Life as Community (Audio)

When we consider all the material and digital distractions of this 21st century world that we live in, many are asking the question ‘have we lost our sense of community?’ It seems like there is even a lack of willingness to make the effort to connect with others; instead, we replace that idea with something else rather than looking for new ways to be engaged with each other in any meaningful sense. Many find that this purposeful journey into a solitary lifestyle is not healthy for body or soul.

The Christian approach to community is in stark contrast to this modern worldview. Our Triune God is the perfect completion of being community. Even at the dawn of creation, Father, Son, and Spirit worked together to bring all things into being. As we draw near to God the immediate response should be that we also draw closer to each other. Why is this important? Because doing life as community is in the very essence and nature of God. As you grow in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit the love of Jesus is made manifest in you and into the lives of those around you.

May we all hold each other up and encourage one another in this.

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Fin Klein shares more on these themes of Christian community.
