Community

• Lives lived out of a genuine love for Christ look very different from what we may observe in our culture today. Rather than falling into stagnation, we must be agents of positive change in our communities. Rather than keeping to ourselves and minding our own business, we are to share the rich blessing and gift of salvation we have received with our communities. Rather than seeking out or passively accepting strife, division, conflict or hatred for one another, we are called to pursue peace in our communities. 
• Prepare to read the following verses by praying & asking God to focus your attention and affections on Him.

Reflection: 

• Where do you serve the needs of others?
• How do you not only rejoice with one another, but also “weep with those who weep”?
• What would your communities look like if you were constantly pursing love and peace with one another?
