How does being in community change us? Through mutual correction and encouragement. But these are powerful instruments that must be used wisely and in the right proportions. If done well, the result is a maturity that looks a good deal like Jesus Himself.

The Community Guidebook for Christians is the Bible. Have you felt like you have been let down by God? By a promise from His book? Listen to Pastor Joel as he takes us on a journey of seeing the Bible for what it is: the perfect guidebook for Christians.

In the Church, some things only happen when we gather together, and other things take on new and surprising qualities. What did Jesus really mean when He said, "When 2 or more are gathered in My Name, there am I in their midst"?

In Christian community, sometimes we have little in common outside of Christ Jesus. So how do we get along? In Christ, little is much because Jesus is everything. The Good News message we believe gets tested, reapplied and tested again until “We all have Christ,” becomes, “All we have is Christ.”

We cannot know ourselves or God fully or truly if the only standard we use is our own assessment of ourselves. Community serves as a mirror in which we see the image we have been missing that leads to growth in godliness. 

When we are told that up is down and right is wrong, how do we know what to support and what to resist? The answer is simple: there are only 2 Kingdoms and you will know them by their fruit.

Satan will attempt to seize upon a crisis and draw our focus away from God, creating a sense of fear, panic, and hopelessness. In moments of crisis, Christians are to respond by seeking the peace of God through Jesus Christ, remaining constant in prayer, and speaking the truth of God.

The righteous have a Rock in God our Father, but the wicked have nothing firm to rest on. No wonder, then, that they destabilize everything they touch! The Church is called at this hour to stand firm on our Rock, not be moved, and to bring stability in this storm.

God wants to bring light and life to society through His church. The devil wants to bring darkness and death. Do we have the courage to speak out against the darkness?
