Made for Community

“Above all,” says both Paul and Peter in their letters to the followers of Jesus… Above all, love one another. Peter heard those exact words from Jesus himself. Very likely, Paul’s unorthodox encounter with Jesus would have included that same admonishment. The apostle John records some of Jesus’s last moments with his disciples in John 13, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jesus clearly believed and taught that the best life for all humans was a life surrounded by people we love. In this series, we’ll explore the theme of community through the scriptures and discover just how essential it is to the life of all who follow Jesus.
