We will be talking about Living in the Light of Community – How God has placed us as followers of Christ in his body, the church, to help us grow and persevere in him.
The community of the church, the body of Christ does many things to help us live in the light of the Gospel. The church helps us identify and experience forgiveness and healing from sin. The church helps encourage us to persevere in the faith. Finally, the community of the church is there to be a support in times of sorrow, but also to rejoice with us when things go really well.
As we go into 2026 I want to challenge you to live in the light of community in church, the body of Christ. This means making Sunday morning a priority, but also finding a smaller group of people in the church that you can live in honest and open community with. The goal is growth in Christ and perseverance in faith, as we experience the Gospel applied to our hearts, all the way to the end.
