5 Pillars: Formed Through Community

“When we worship God together, when we pray together, we start to feel God's presence together. We need this. There's something that happens when two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus. We need this to be part of our lives to be formed in Jesus. We're also seeing radical hospitality. There are any other homes. There are open each other's homes up. They're giving. They're giving all that they have, and it says with gladdened sincere hearts. This is welcoming radical hospitality. Imagine if the people of God were so welcoming. They would welcome anyone into the list to speak to anyone, share with anyone because they recognize the image of God in them. This is a community that allows us to become more like Jesus. There was this radical generosity they had. They were sharing all these things in common. They were on a mission together. The community cannot become self-focused. It's not only become inward-focused. They were always adding to the number because they were always getting together, loving one another and then pushing out and reaching into their neighborhoods. This is what our real disciple looks like.”
