We live in a culture that is training us for isolation...we can have it "our way" and we should have it "our way." The spiritual reality is that we were created in the image of the community of the Trinity, and so we were created for community.
In Ephesians 4:1-17, Paul calls the Ephesian Christians to "live in a manner worthy of their calling," and he lays out the expectation that their "calling" demands a unity of the Christian community. This unity comes when Christians have a transformed attitude and a transformed economy.
This is what Jesus intended for His followers: that our lives would be transformed by knowing Him. He left with us His Spirit (the Holy Spirit) and spiritual gifts to help bring us together as a Community of Transformation.
In week 4 of Legacy Church's "Common Values for Uncommon People" we explore our core value of Community.
