Living as Exiles for Christ Together

Apr 23, 2023    Andy Fuqua

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the vital importance of community in our Christian walk. Drawing from 1 Peter 5, we explore how God's design for His church involves both shepherds (leaders) and the flock (congregation) working together in humility and love. The key lesson here is that we can't face life's challenges alone - we need God and we need each other. Just as early Christians were called to resist spiritual attacks by standing firm in their faith together, we too are called to belong to a fellowship of believers. This message challenges us to move beyond our individualistic tendencies and embrace the beauty of interdependence in God's family. Are we willing to invest our time in building genuine relationships within our church community? The simple act of sharing a meal together is elevated as a profound expression of our familial bond in Christ. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can deepen our connections and support one another in our spiritual journeys.
