Stronger together
Ever been a part of a team?
I spent a number of years in the military
Battle was not won by one soldier - it was multiple units
The whole accomplishes something bigger than the individual
Last week - we talked of families - the unit
Family needs to be part of a bigger family- Church
We are family
Christian community is the place where we keep the flame of hope alive among us and take it seriously so that it can grow and become stronger in us.
- Henri Nouwen
We need each other
We are stronger together
At its heart that is what Build is about
When you invest and commit to this campaign we have the resources to:
Build families - small groups and resources for families, facilities to gather and be encouraged, challenged, to grow, programs investing in the next generation
Family is at the core of this
When we commit to each other and invest in each other as church family - our world starts changing
That’s what I want to dive into today
What does it look like and what happens when we build families together?
Turn Acts 2
Let’s pray
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ.
No Christian community is more or less than this.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Church is important - the church gathered is important
Its focus and impetus is Jesus
When we do it the way Jesus intended, things happen
1.
We grow together
You trying to grow in your faith by yourself - won’t work
I love in the video - they talked about people further down the road - older
Not only that but.....
When we grow together, God moves
We must be a community where....
2. We love each other
Love is an action
I like how James puts it
Our faith is reflected by our acts of love and our generosity
As a family....
3. We worship together
Acts 2:46 (CSB)
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house.
I know we are the church
Show me where there was not a place for the faith community to meet
We worship together
We give space for our kids to worship in their way / Special needs, youth, etc.
“We are perishing for lack of wonder, not for lack of wonders.”—G.K. Chesterton
4. We celebrate together
Acts 2:46–47 (CSB)
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house.
They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
More than just singing songs, more than just shaking hands and saying hi
When we Love, Worship, and Celebrate Together
The World Notices
Building Families Together
We are stronger together
Individual families become part of the larger church family
When generations are pouring into the next generation
We will build families and through us God will change the world
This is why Build is - this why we invest our time talent and treasure and commit to being a part of this
Christians in community must again show the world, not merely family values, but the bond of the love of Christ.
- Author: Edmund Clowney
The greatest expression of our community and that bond is communion
As we take the elements - let us recommit to Christ to what He has called us to be and do - and to each other as family
Let’s pray
Communion
