Notes:

- Harmony
- Ministry
- Maturity
Community
- Natural outflow of being in union with Christ
- Acts 2:40-42
- Two essential parts:
- Worship–what we say we believe, what we teach
- We spend weekly time in corporate worship
- A church’s weekly corporate worship will reflect it’s individual members’ daily personal worship
- Anemic, unenthusiastic personal worship will produce anemic, unenthusiastic corporate worship
- God commanded corporate worship in both Old and New Testaments
- Both ordinances were given with the explicit context of community–neither are celebrated alone
- By design, corporate worship is designed to be word, prayer, song, and ordinance in community
- Walk–what we prove that we believe by what we practice
- Without people–even messed up people–we don’t have a church
- Worship–what we say we believe, what we teach
Live It Out
- Be honest about where you are at
- Stop making lame excuses
