Carry the Torch 2

Intro

community

Good Community

Ephesians - the mystery revealed

One

acts 2:42-

everything in common because they had the most important thing in common

an incredibly diverse group of people from every kind of background

no one has any need that is not met in a time and place not nearly as secure or prosperous as ours

if God what moves our lives, we can do some actual good by bringing people together and caring for God’s creation

2 Kings 6-

God’s love lived out in a hateful world

Bad Community

the tower of babel

a community focused on its self

destined to fail rather than flourish and grow

Application

be the kind of people who share and grow

you want the real purpose from the garden, care about and invest in people

not just your close friends like we talked about last week

but be the one who holds a community of people together
