Fully Engaged in Community
SERMON NOTES
God uses people to form people. That is why what happens between you and another person is never merely human-to-human interaction—the Spirit longs to be powerfully at work in every encounter.
John Ortberg
-
- - How does the trinity model the importance of community and living life together?
- - How do Jesus statements- such as “Love one another, Forgive one another ” -- help facilitate building community?
- - How can you take responsibility for being a part of a community that will help you journey through the many ups and downs life? How can you contribute to peoples’ life journey? How can you keep Christ at the center of your small group?
