Exploring the Practice of Faith Community
In this message, Pastor Andy delves into the concept of faith community, drawing from Romans Chapter 12. Discussing the importance of community within the church, Andy highlights different gifts and their contributions to the church body, asserting every member is valuable regardless of their skills, possessions, or status. The true and lasting bond in a faith community comes from a shared faith in Jesus Christ, which ultimately surpasses all worldly communities. Andy encourages the congregation to engage in small groups to further this understanding of community.
