Love One // Week 3

LOVE ONE 

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY

My COMMUNITY = People in my Sphere of Influence who are far from God yet we have something in common.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”    Acts 1:8

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.    

2 Corinthians 5:14 - 15

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 

2 Corinthians 5:16 - 17 

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.     Romans 5:8

 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.    

2 Corinthians 5:18 - 19
