From Hillside Community Church · 37:35

Show by Hillside Community Church

Ever wanted deeper community but couldn't figure out why it wasn't happening?You can build a church without building a community. You can have the walls, the chairs, and the programs and still feel alone in the room.In Week 3 of Nehemiah and the 7 Cs, Pastor Aaron McRae shows how God rebuilt more than Jerusalem's wall. He rebuilt His people. The big idea: community is a work God does first IN us before He does it THROUGH us.God builds that community in us through three things:A shared identity: we know WHO we areShared rhythms: we learn HOW to be togetherSelfless sacrifice: we choose WHOSE interests come firstSome of us don't have a community problem. We have a calendar problem.This week, ask yourself: Have I built room in my life for real Christian community to happen?Scripture: Nehemiah 2:17–18; 3:1–5; 4:6; 9:38; 10:28–29 · John 17:20–21 · Ephesians 4:3–6 · Acts 2:42–47 · John 15:12–13 · Philippians 2:1–7Resources MentionedDietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together (quote adapted)Francis Schaeffer, The Mark of the Christian (idea adapted)Robin Dunbar, research on social circlesJohn Mark Comer, Practicing the WayFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.
