Through a Biblical view of community, Pastor Josh Rutledge wraps up our Community series by describing the why and how we are going to carry out this principle within our congregation.

We learn that through community we are not just for other believers, but that we should be on mission in a local context with our community of believers.

Our aim in this series is to understand the what, the why and the how of a Biblical community. By the time this series is over, you will know what a true Biblical community is, where it came from, why it exists, why its vital, and how its going to function here at Christ City Church.

Up to this point, the conversation couldn’t have gone any better for Peter and the disciples. they have passed their final exam with flying colors and have just been told that their Jesus, their man is going to build an unbeatable kingdom, a kingdom that not even death could find victory over. But all of a sudden, Jesus presents a prophecy...which is met with pushback...revealing a principle that we can all learn from today.

As the body of Christ, we know that our foundation, builder, and owner is Jesus. Because of that reality the church is invincible, it has authority, and it must be patient.
