Focus - Life is Better Connected
God did not create us to do life alone.
God created us for relationships not only with Him but with each other.
A community that is strong and in one accord reaches their community.
SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS, AND I’LL SHOW YOU YOUR FUTURE.
Proverbs 13:20
Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups. –Rick Warren
Acts 2:42-46
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.
