Today we dive into the topic of community and how crucial it is that our community be a Biblical community. Katie and Shelley share about how they see community displayed in the Bible, and how they are able to live that out in their own lives. 
Katie shares about a season where she didn’t have community and how difficult that was. Shelley talks about how important it is to be the initiator of community and to look for people that may be looking for community. 

Are you in the Tyler area? We would love for you to join us a Green Acres and get plugged into a connect group! https://www.gabc.org/connect-groups/

 Scripture and tools:

Galatians 6:2

James 5:16

Acts 2

 The method Shelley uses to simplify her daily Bible reading is called SOAP: Scripture, observations, applications, prayer.

In today’s episode, Pastor David Dykes shares about the joy we have in the Lord. Pastor David shares that the key to staying connected to God, especially during difficult times, is to spend time reading the Bible and to pray and listen to God. We also discuss choosing joy on today’s episode, and how sometimes Christian’s feel they have lost the joy of their salvation. Thankfully that joy cannot be lost because it belongs to the Lord. When we don’t always “feel” the joy, Pastor David reminds us to “faith it” and the feelings will follow.
