Matthew 7:24-29

1) knowledge doubling curve

2) age of acceleration

3) information-to-action ratio

> more information than ever before

>> feel overwhelmed by this information

>>> moved without taking action

JESUS: put it into practice

TRANSFORMATION requires:

> that we put the truth into practice

>> a lifetime of practice

>>> community

INTENTIONAL BIBLICAL COMMUNITY

meaningful relationships with other followers of Jesus

Circles are better than rows.

We all crave relationships.

Our relationship with God develops much like other relationships.
