Community IS Everything
You know, I was thinking. Here I am fresh off the heels of a fantastic small group conference at Willow Creek Church near Chicago. I got to spend some very good quality time with the pastor as well as get some much needed information and renewed energy about small groups. The one thing that I guess I have always known but haven't always remembered is that community is the most important thing to people. A sense of belonging and having a common bond is essential to every single human being. God designed us this way. I used to find my community in the bars and casinos, now I find it with God's people.When we live in true community we have the ability to share our TRUE selves with one another, not just the person you want people to see. Over the next few days I want to share with you how community has changed my life, how I have contributed to and failed the community of believers that I fellowship with, and how building true community will expand the Kingdom of God beyond anything that we could ever imagine. My God bless you beyond belief today.

What is especially funny is how your community found our community last Sunday.
That was pretty funny. Do you think the Lord was telling us something? I guess we gotta pray about it. B4T
Oh yes Thomas, that is exactly right!
