A presentation about Christian Community.

2. POINTS OF
INTEREST
WHAT DOES CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE?

3. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
“12 Just as a body, though one, has many
parts, but all its many parts form one
body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all
baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or
free—and we were all given the one Spirit
to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made
up of one part but of many.”

6. Our Common Denominator: Gospel
 Bounded together by the fact that we
were all dead in our sins and made
alive by God’s grace.
 We all find common ground at the
Cross and the sacrifice Jesus made for
us.
 As a result we long for Christian
Community.

8. Why We Can & Should
We Build Quality
Christian Community

9. Ephesians 4:4-6
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you
were called to one hope when you were
called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one
baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is
over all and through all and in all.
ONE BODY
ONE SPIRIT
ONE LORD
ONE HOPE
ONE FAITH
ONE BAPTISM
ONE GOD & FATHER

10. ONE BODY
We actually are Christ’s “body,” the
visible expression of Jesus to the
watching world.
ONE SPIRIT
We are each indwelt by God’s Spirit, so we
already have the greatest spiritual reality
in common.

11. ONE HOPE
We will spend eternity together, so we
might as well learn how to get along with
and enjoy one another now!
ONE LORD
We have all decided to follow the same
Leader in every aspect of our lives, expect
that he will lead us in a unified way.

12. We all have the same body of truth (The
Gospel), so we can agree on what is true
and right.
ONE FAITH
ONE BAPTISM
We all publicly confessed our allegiance
to the same Jesus so we should honor
him in this way.

13. ONE GOD & FATHER
We are all children
of the same
heavenly Father,
and are therefore
brothers and
sisters of the same
family.

15. LOVE GOD = LOVE PEOPLE

16. LET’S FACE IT TOGETHER!!!

17. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
“12 Just as a body, though one, has many
parts, but all its many parts form one
body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all
baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or
free—and we were all given the one Spirit
to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made
up of one part but of many.”

18. REFLECT:
1. DO YOU SOMETIMES PREFER
DOING THINGS ALONE?
2. HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE
DEEPNESS OF THE FRIENDSHIP
YOU HAVE WITH THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU?
3. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO
IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH OTHERS?
