Community on the Rise

This past Sunday Matt preached for from Galatians 6:1-10 and I am excited this happened at the same time we are starting to form more and more life groups. Paul calls us to live life together and he knows that in doing so we are going to have problems and we will continue to struggle with and deal with sin. First, we have to restore our brother and sisters in sin to God. I love the idea of restoration to restore something means that at some point what existed was good and worth restoring. To believe this is to believe that God's creation is worth restoring, in fact God has call us as a church and as His people to play a part in the restoration of His people. That is why we give and participate in social justice in our community. Ultimately we want to restore people lives back to Jesus Christ and it's only through Him are our lives transformed in amazing ways. How have you been participating in restoration? Are you involved in a group of people who can help restore you into fellowship with God? I pray this week that as you work and play that you take the opportunity to help restore someone or something closer to God. Share your story with us.
