In this sermon, Mark, a young adult leader at First Baptist Church of Augusta, concludes the eight-week series "Practicing the Way," which focuses on being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing as He did. ​ He emphasizes the importance of living out these principles within a church community, drawing inspiration from the early church as described in Acts 2:42-47. ​ Mark highlights the church as a people united by Christ's resurrection, devoted to learning, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, and serving others. ​ He acknowledges the challenges and messiness of community but underscores its transformative power in fostering spiritual growth, mutual care, and outreach to the broader world. ​ Mark encourages the congregation to embrace intentional relationships, live sacrificially, and be a visible representation of Christ's kingdom, creating a community that inspires awe and brings others to know Jesus. ​
