Series Overview
Spiritual formation is not only for own benefit, but it is for the sake of others. Spiritual maturity is not measured by how much we know, but how we love others.
Community Guides
-
The family of God throughout Scripture is depicted as a highly committed, multi-ethnic community of self-giving and sacrificial love (Acts 2v42-47).
-
We are going to step into the practice of Community through the ancient rhythms of the Examen and confession.
-
This is the essence of Christian Community, that everyone has a need and everyone has something to give. Whether it be an emotional, spiritual, or physical need, none of us are without need.
-
Hospitality doesn’t require an outgoing personality or a masters degree or a unique skill set —it’s about welcoming others as God has welcomed us.
-
Sabbath and Celebration allows our whole being to align with the story of God. Through the practice of communal Celebration, we remember the good that God has done and the good end he promises to bring.
Family Guides
-
One of the ways God talks about the church is as a family. Sometimes, the Scriptures even call believers or the church the “new family of God.” And when we participate in this new family, we call that practicing Community.
