Introduction
Core Values of the BIC – moving from salvation and foundation in Word, through worship and discipleship = following Jesus.
Now also finding our identity as a member of the body of Christ.
Core Value 5 – Belong to the Community of Faith
We value integrity in relationships and mutual accountability in an atmosphere of grace, love, and acceptance.
Talk about community and community of faith
Community is the place where the person you least want to live with always lives.
Often we surround ourselves with the people we most want to live with, thus forming a club or a clique, not a community.
Anyone can form a club; it takes grace, shared vision, and hard work to form a community.
Henri Nouwen

Coming together for what purpose?
Five main functions – we see these reflected in the core values
Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry, Mission – reflected also in our leadership structure.

Integrity in relationships
The New Testament is full of “One Anothers” giving us instruction in how to live with each other.
Mutual accountability
So frustrating that this is often called church discipline.
Addressing a fault, forcing correction by taking it as far as viewing the offender as lowly filth, putting them out of the church if necessary.
No.
The whole chapter is about restoring what is lost.
Forgiving and restoring a brother.
See message from Parables, 17 Forgiveness in the Family.
Short recap of this to say, not about discipline so much as forgiving and helping spiritual development.

Jesus prayed for unity among His followers.
Through the unity of His Spirit living in each of us we are completely united as one body and the rest of the world observes and desires.
The Church As the Body of Christ
Read in the Bible
Unity (by the gifts of the Spirit), humility, gentleness (not harsh), patience, understanding, compassion.
Peace.
