Sermons About Community
A Generous Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Friendships, Making Conversation
We are created to live in community; in relationship with other people. God puts people in our lives to accomplish His purposes for us. We can be His instruments as well. Remember to smile, have open arms, lean forward, touch, use eye contact and nod. Step out first and make a comment. Who knows, this could be your next best friend. Enhance your friendship with God. Enhance your friendship with others.

Crucial Commitments For Authentic Christians
Many people today have mixed feelings and a lot of questions about the church. How important does the church have to be to a follower of Christ? What are the most important things that the church is supposed to do? How committed should I be to the church? The passage that we've come to in Acts 2 helps us with these questions.

Zip it - Gossip
Our culture has turned gossip into a commodity that is bought and sold. We have made talking about others in a negative way the norm. Paul calls our mouth an open sewage leak and encourages that we build up others with our words instead.

Freedom of Worship
Who, how, and if we worship is our business. Right? This is certainly a common assumption. But is it true? Listen in as we look at Judges 19 to see that every "personal" worship choice we make has public consequences.

The Gift of Community (1 John 1:1-7)
Christian community is built around our shared experience of the gospel. Community always begins with God, and God gives us community as a means of transforming our lives more and more into the image of his son. However, community is not merely a tool for growth, but also a gift from God for our joy as well as for our good.

Celebration According to the Gospel
We have been talking about this idea of being a “City within a City” and living our lives in such a way as to show our neighbors, friends, co-workers God’s love, what God is like and what it would look like for them to follow Jesus and live their lives in God’s ways here in this culture.

Togetherness
Believers are drawn together as a community by Jesus. Having that sense of community requires commitment and a Godly lifestyle. When people are drawn to Jesus He makes a life change. To see that transformation we need to invite God to change us and surrender to Him.

The Community of the Spirit
The community of the Spirit is the community of the cross. Sin is not fatal or scandalous because restoration is possible, and the members take responsibility for self and one another. We then live by the Spirt not mocking God with self-indulgence or growing weary of self-righteousness. And our passion is not cross avoidance and impressing people but glorying in the wonders of the cross and our subsequent new cretaion.

How Genuine Faith Redeems Fellowship
Christian community should be marked by mutual love and understanding but far too often it rife with bitterness, gossip, and harsh words between members. This is often caused because people do not forgive each other when they are sinned against but instead harbor a self-righteous attitude and think that they are above committing the kind of sin in question. Peter reminds us that we are all to be united because we have all been forgiven by God because Christ died for our sins, and just as God did not repay us evil for our evil towards Him but instead gave us forgiveness and grace we too are to bless and forgive those that sin against us.

How Genuine Faith Transforms Neighborhoods and Communities
The Apostle Peter reminds us that we are foreigners here in this life, and because of this we should not get distracted from our journey by empty worldly passions that cry for our attention like lame roadside exhibits on a road trip. Instead, we should live honorable lives and respect the authorities over us because God has put them in power for our good. If we do this it will help quiet those who would slander and oppose us because we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
