Community
Despite the unprecedented connectivity of the modern era, genuine community is vanishing. Isolation, transience, and superficiality can sabotage our formation into people of mature love. But through Jesus, we enter a new kind of family that offers intimacy, joy, healing, and commitment.
Session 1 November 9th
Be family around a table
To apprentice under Jesus is to join a new kind of family – a highly relational, joyfully-connected kinship group that follows Jesus not just around a stage, but in growing intimacy around a table.
Session 2 November 16th
Share your joys and sorrows
In an individualistic culture prone to despair, followers of Jesus form micro-communities of defiant joy that resist the black hole of fear and anger, and mutually carry burdens of sorrow and pain.
Session 3 November 23rd
Confess your sins
Many modern barriers to community are symptoms of shame. But as we learn to courageously name our wickedness and woundedness in the presence of loving community, we begin to heal.
Session 4 November 30th
Stay together to grow
As we draw closer in community, periods of conflict, pain, and disillusionment are inevitable. But as we accept these challenges and remain connected, we grow into mature love together.
