Ep 81: Body of Christ| Part 2| Cultivating Community

We have been designed for community, but it's not always natural or easy. Community is about cultivating relationships that models the gospel- it will be hard, there will be challenges, it will require humility, repentance and forgiveness. Listen as we discuss the following questions:

1. What does it mean to be in community?  Can you give some biblical examples of this?

2. Many people find a great deal of fulfillment by belonging to a community.  How is a church community different than, say, a sports community, or arts community?

3. Why is a Christian church community  important to the life of the believer?

4.  What does belonging to a meaningful Christian community look like?

5. Can you share some practical things we can actively do to ensure we are plugging ourselves into a community that will be a blessing to us as well as to others.

6. What is Church Discipline and how does it help build and protect Christian community?

7. What would you say is unique about our community at Harvest and how has it been cultivated, either intentionally or unintentionally?

8. What are some cautions that we should have about gatherings that mimic the church but perhaps don’t follow the biblical model of eldership and authority?

And a fun bonus question!!!
