Our Desire for Community

Genesis 1:26

Then God said, "Let us make human beings  in our image, to be like us."

I am not going to start a lengthy theological discussion on the "Trinity" here, but I want to share something with you.  Even with our limited human understanding we can see from scripture that we worship one God with three persons.  And, in Genesis it says that we were made "to be like us."  Two people can share love... but it takes three for community.  God Himself has chosen to live in community and created us the same way.  There is a desire in us for deep relationships and the power of shared life that comes through small group relationship.  The most life transforming power of community is found within these relationships with other believers.

So how deep is the "Root" of community in your life?  Are you actively sharing your life with other believers, encouraging, challenging, and praying for one another?  Or are you alone waiting for the rain to somehow blow your way and water your thirsty heart?

Prayer Focus - May we grow in our love for each other and draw others to Christ.

God Bless,

Pastor Brian
