At the heart of every human being is a longing to belong. That desire isn't accidental, it's rooted in the very nature of God. We were created by the Lord who eternally exists as one God in a perfect community of three persons. Because we bear His image, we are wired for relationship.
Drawing from Scripture, we see that Christian community is a group of believers united to Christ and to one another by the Holy Spirit, living out their faith for the good of each other and the world. Drawing on some sociological insights, we see that we experience community differently depending on the size and shape of the relationships we're in. Considering both, we see what it means to pursue community together.

Community in Christ, Part 2 (Romans 12:4-16)
In last week’s sermon, we saw how people gather in different group sizes to find different aspects of community. This week, we turn to Acts 2, where we see the priorities and ministry of the church when it gathered for worship. This passage will help us consider how we pursue community in larger group settings.

The Divine Community (John 14:16-21; 17:20-26)
Before time began, the Lord existed in a perfect community of three: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When the Lord created us in his image, he made us to exist in community with others.
