Intro
Clash, series write up...
Undertow example
My first trip below the border - Peru in 1997
This was the first time that I encountered a culture that was still centered around community, one that was different than the one that I came from.
It was still deeply connected in community and relationships.
Picture...
It highlighted for me the radical isolation that our culture faces.
“The more i get to know people, the more I love my dog.”
individualism vs collectivism
Wealth and success brings isolation
Here is why I bring this up - this is a struggle that we see happen spiritually in our lives as well.
Recent Barna research - most people only come to church 1 out of 4 weekends in a month.
Average number of people in a group in churches
Witch way is better?
Is it true that you don’t need anybody else with you on your spiritual journey?
What is the life worth pursuing, one of rugged individualism or the life deeply connected in community?
I think that you might be surprised by what we find in scripture.
Are you willing to go with me this morning as we discover what God says to us, together?
SCRIPTURE
Unity in - The holy spirit fell when they were all Together in the upper room.
The sign of this became the fact that they shared all things in common in the book of Acts.
4 pillars of the church
Wealth and prosperity lead to social isolation.
We no longer need each other to survive.
All of us together are described as the body of Christ.
Christ’s presence in the world
We grow better, together -
Being around others molds and shapes you.
You need to hear and disagree with other’s ideas.
This is how you grow and become someone greater than you are.
Being in a group also impacts people’s daily lives.
Group members feel closer to God (69 percent), understand the Bible better (74 percent), trust God more (66 percent), and become more loving in their relationships (48 percent).
Together, we are the house of God
The problem of offense.
The strategy of the enemy is to get you isolated so that he can pick you off.
WE are the body of Christ
