i'm in a small discipleship group and we're going over the 'promises of God'
we talked about the foundation of our study and that is the gospel. we went over Tim Kellers vision statement for his church out of New York city called Redeemer. in his vision statement he has 6 gospel-centered parts to being part of a community.
it's pretty amazing. oh for grace for the Body of Christ to look like this...
"1. an accepting community that reflects the grace we've been given from Christ.
2. a holy community that urges one another to live God-pleasing lives.
3. a truth-telling community that is free to repent, and free to allow others to repent, because of the gospel.
4. an encouraging community that builds one another up.
5. a sacrificially generous community that spends its life and wealth on the needs of others.
6. a suffering community that loves and forgives others even when it harms us."
