Acts 2:42-47
Times, society, and culture have changed and therefore, community is much harder to find today.
The Bible reveals that Christianity was never meant to be lived alone and in isolation.
Fellowship, therefore, is the experience of real Christian community as we share our common faith, our common purpose, and our common love for God and our love for each other.
Many of us have discovered that experiencing real Christian community is difficult even when we are convinced that it is a very good thing and when we are trying to make it happen.
I would suggest that each of us need more than just one Christian buddy–we need a family of Christian buddies.
A central task of community is to create a place that is safe enough for the walls to be torn down, safe enough for each of us to reveal our brokenness.
In this series, we will be giving our attention to these powerful and important “one another” commands.
For the sake of God and for the sake of the family of God, we must learn to love one another and learn to practice all the other one another commands.
