Life. Groups.

We live life, or do we? It is not good for man to be alone, someone once said, and still it is true. Then, why do we stay in our car/house/work-cocoons? We purport to be a community, but community does not happen without getting our hands dirty. You could even say that’s what happened with God. He got His hands in the dirt and made us. It got messy pretty quick. He didn’t turn away, though. He got in the dirt, once again, millennia later, and became one of us. Somehow, He brought us life from that. And now, He gives us the opportunity to continually receive life from His Spirit and to be conduits of such new life to each other in our community. In dying to ourselves, we become sources of life to our brothers and sisters. Perhaps even in a Life Group.

Community. Why does it matter?

Is it just another buzzword that will be replaced in 5 years? What is true community? Community is the reality that we are called into as God’s people, the bride of Christ, the church. In other words, Christ’s incarnation and death was an expression of hospitality, of drawing us into His community, the communion of the Triune God eternal. Wow.
