#486: Why Community Still Matters

The Big Idea: 

The church community still matters because we need one another. We need encouragement, support, accountability, and fellowship. All of these ideas are biblical. Not only do we need to receive this support, but we are called to give it to others. We cannot do this if we fail to gather together.


Main Points:

1. With the technology of our day, you don’t have to physically go to church to receive content. You can hear sermons all day long on your phone, but the church is not just about content. It’s about community. 
2. If you are not a part of a community of believers, who will pray with you and for you? Who will provide encouragement? Who will challenge you to grow? Who will hold you accountable?
3. Let me ask you, “Do you have a spiritual family? Are you attempting to follow Jesus in isolation?" If so, you are missing out on the blessing of the community, and the church is missing your gifts as well.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Hebrews 10:24-25 - “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Acts 2:44 - “All the believers were together.”
