I had the opportunity to speak at The Gathering Student Ministries (now called “The Well”) on January, 24th, 2010. After spending some time with Bonhoeffer in his Life Together, I gave the following sermon. For an idea of what can be found in the sermon, here is a basic outline:
What is Christian Community?
- The Effects of the Fall (Gen. 2:25; 3:6-7)
- Peace through Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:13-14; 17-20)
- Not an Ideal to be Strived For, but a Present Reality
- Everyone is Welcome, Everyone Has a Role (Romans 12:4-6)
Why is it Important?
- The Community is the Body of Christ
- This is the Community We Will Spend Eternity With
- Through the Community, We are Purified from Sin
How do we get it?
- Through Jesus Christ
- By Accepting it for What it Is
- By Participating
