God's New Community - A
Study for Small Groups
The
Vision: Imagine a local church where children, young people and
adults are helped to come to faith in Christ: where they are welcomed
and loved, taught and trained; where they are confident in sharing
their faith, and clear about God’s call on their lives; where
they serve one another and their community; and where gifts are grown
and leaders developed - all this through the ministry of God’s
word and the power of the Holy Spirit. (CPAS – ‘The Body
Beautiful’.)
If we are serious about becoming more fully this sort of church, we
will want to engage biblically with what is meant by Christian
community or being ‘the Body of Christ’, and then put what
we learn into practice.
These studies, entitled “God’s New Community”, are
designed to enable us to explore something of what God requires in the
common life of His people, and to express this life in a way that is
appropriate for this generation.
