Yesterday was a sad day but a great day. I got a phone call to let me know that a wonderful woman named Ellen Brooker had gone home to be with the Lord. She was way too young, only 55. I went to the hospital to be with her husband and their daughter only to find out that their small group was already there loving, supporting , praying and comforting.
I thought to myself. WOW ! There is nothing more beautiful and satisfying than when the church is functioning the way God designed and intended it to be. Carrying one another burdens.
Andy and Ashley felt the presence and power of God. All because they were in community with a group of people . They weren’t asking where is God in all of this, they knew where He was. He was right there with him in each small group member.
Jesus said it like this : For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20
Are you in community ?
