Yesterday’s message in the Called series was titled Called to Community. The main idea of the message was that God has called us to community as believers. Here is a brief outline of the message:
Why has God called us to community as believers?
I. We need each other.
A. Encourage each other in the battle against sin (Hebrews 3:12-13)
B. Pick each other up when we fall (Galatians 6:1-2)
C. Spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24-25)
II. We belong to each other.
A. We are family (Galatians 6:10)
B. We are the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27)
C. Each member of the body belongs to all the others (Romans 12:4-5)
III. We are called to bear witness to Christ.
A. God is building a people (Titus 2:13-14; Revelation 21:3)
B. Jesus died for the church (Ephesians 5:25-27)
C. Our unity testifies to the world that God sent Jesus (John 17:20-21)

Excellent thoughts on the community of believers. One of my first impressions as a new Christian, was the beauty of Christian fellowship. How much we need each other. For those Christians who are not part of a church, they are missing so much, – missing all they might receive, and all they might share in giving. The ministry of outreach among believers is a rich source of blessing, – to those who give, and those who receive. Thanks for this message.
Margaret – I agree. My life has been greatly enriched by the experience of Christian community over the years.
