Heading North Together
Jesus invites you to experience a whole and joy-filled life with him! And, life with Jesus is even better when you have a community to do life with.
The Bible reminds us time and time again that faith was never meant to be a one-player game, but a team sport, each individual bringing something unique to the whole.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 reminds us, "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed." This is more than practical wisdom, but an invitation to allow community to sustain us.
Walking alongside others in Jesus' name creates opportunities to grow stronger in our conviction to be in a relationship with Jesus and among God's people. Colossians 3:16 says, "Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
The Word of God is full of grace and truth, fully embodied in Jesus.
Reading about the life of Jesus gives us a true north to follow and respond to as we become more like Him.
Community provides us with the courage to respond, act, and course-correct rather than retreat.
PRAY
Pray Colossians 3:16 as a group:
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill our lives. May we teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Let us sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. Amen.
DIVE DEEPER
Discovery Bible Study is a great tool that can help you easily discover scripture. Take some time with yourself, or with those around you, and discover the word of God with these three simple questions:
What does this passage teach us about God, Jesus, or His plan?
What does this passage teach us about people and how we are to live?
How will you respond to/obey this passage in a tangible, perhaps even costly way in the next 48-72 hours?
