connecting
They are joined together, so closely
connected they cannot be separated*
What comes to mind when you think of the word "community"? Here's what Scripture says this about the first group of believers in the New Testament:
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved" [Acts 2:42-47].
Does that sound like a community you would like to be a part of? Though we are not perfect, this is the community God calls us to, and the community to which Briarwood aspires. Connect with others at Briarwood right now! Join us on the journey as we strive to become the community God desires, "a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works" [Titus 2:14].
