John 13:34-35 – 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.” The Bible’s picture of the church is more than just a weekly gathering. It’s a family who lay their lives down for one another.

The New Testament picture of church is more than a building with a steeple and stained glass windows. It’s more than a weekly religious service. It’s a life-changing, devil-stomping, sin-crushing community of love.

Jesus gave His life to build His church, not just a weekly religious gathering or a building, but a family of people devoted to one-another in love and humility. It’s about more than just coming and watching a performance, more even than just serving and getting involved – it’s about living a life connected with others, where we each lay our own desires down for others. And as we live this way, the world will see and be drawn to Jesus.
