THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY

One of the greatest things to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic was that God made all of us come to a FULL STOP. No games, no meetings, no community. It was as if he was telling all of us that if you don’t want to rest, I’m going to make you.

Resting at hime recovering for covid i was so ofter reminded of the need for our church community. The question i asked was why do we go to Church? Or why do we turn on zoom and attend ?What’s the point?

There are several different answers that probably make sense like to worship, but one that makes a lot of sense as well is “We go to church for other people. Because someone may need you there.” Because someone in your community may need you there. I need the church community to lift up, edify with scripture, and just be there. Why are we so reluctant to reach out to our community for prayer in everyday things? The tired, the weary, the things that don’t seem big. Yes, we have to pray for the “big” things, but why not as a community ask for prayer for the small things too? As Colossians 1:17 says“And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” If His word says He is in all things, shouldn’t we be coming to Him in all things?

Reflecting Questions

Why do you hold back from reaching out to others with the small things?

What prevents you from engaging in community on a weekly/daily basis?

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
