Community Groups
We desire to be a community of believers who regularly encourage one another. It was out of this desire that we began our weekday Community Groups. The book of Hebrews says that we are to “encourage one another day after day…so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:12-13). We all understand that sin lies to us and causes us to be hardened toward the things of God. And this text of Scripture shows us that God has given us fellowship with one another as a way to keep us from these effects of sin. We see this ministry as a practical way to strengthen our fellowship with one another and walk faithfully with our Lord. But there’s more. God calls believers to be a community that loves one another. We want to be a church with members that develop strong ties with one another and practically care for each other. And weekday community groups provide the platform for this as well.
What to expect
We generally meet in homes Tuesday or Wednesday evenings for about an hour to sing, pray, and dig into Scripture together and share life together. We cover a portion of Scripture the same way in all the groups, going over observations, exposition and implications relative to the biblical text. Our community groups are open to all who join us for worship on Sundays. For more details, please speak to one of our leaders or members.
The Spirit of God is indeed the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9), even the “breath” of Jesus, who conveys His presence to us.
The risen Lord has for His people unfathomable riches. Despite their failures and unworthiness, Jesus gave His disciples this gift: the noble assignment to proclaim the gospel of divine forgiveness of sins
Jesus rose victoriously from the dead, having inaugurated the new covenant. This risen and victorious Savior then gave gifts to men, even “the unfathomable riches of Christ.” Jesus speaks of these magnificent gifts in His post-resurrection appearances.
The person who is not satisfied with Christ will inevitably seek satisfaction somewhere else, but nothing else will satisfy. Nothing on earth was meant to satisfy except Christ.
The lynchpin that holds the Christian faith together is Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. It is the doctrine every believer upholds.
