God seeks to create community...
Genesis 1 – His triune nature
Genesis 2 – creation of Adam & Eve – “one flesh”
Israel’s history – attempts and failures
John 17 – Jesus & the disciples – a taste of unity
Acts 2 – Pentecost: the Spirit and the church
Revelation 21 – eternal community
Acts 2
“...they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.”
LIFE RESPONSES
Are you convinced that God wants every believer to be a highly functioning member of a local church?
Have you fully committed yourself to the body of God’s people at FBC, or are you holding back to see if something better comes along?
If the person next to you needed twenty dollars today, would you give it?
Are you connected to other brothers & sisters at FBC through some kind of regular small group experience?
If you needed help at 3:00 o’clock tomorrow morning, who would you call?
