Engaged in Relationship

Series: The Church Jesus is Building 3/4/12 1 Pet 2:9-10 tells us that the church Jesus is building centers upon the formation of a new people that did not previously exist.  The church is not a host of individual Christians independently following God who happen to gather together one or two times a week around an activity of singing or hearing a message.  No, when we get saved not only are we brought into relationship with God, but we are brought into relationship with those who also have a relationship with God to demonstrate to the world what Kingdom life looks like. The church is  people engaged in relationship with one another.  We are a community of faith. As we look at this passage of Scripture, we want to hear what God is saying to us about being the church.
