S3:E06 | Building Community

“We have so many different perspectives of what it’s like to have a relationship, what it’s like to steward a ministry, and it’s just honoring each one of those perspectives to get the fullness of what God’s presenting… It’s not what I want, it’s not what I think, it’s being able to come into a company of people and get the fullness of what God’s saying because I only have a part.”

The Movement

Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
– John 17:3

I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.
– John 13:34-35

Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
– Matthew 28:19-20
