Every Community...Josh Haas

We all crave community

We are not meant to do life alone

We must have vision to GROW community

God is always increasing

Acts 5:12-16 (church was esteemed)

Our acts of kindness mean something to others

2 Kings 20:12-19 (Hezekiah only cared about himself, not the future)

Fear and Selfishness will prevent us from having vision for the future

Prosperity can prevent us as well, unless we have a plan in how to continue to impact others with it

Socialization is needed for community

Matthew 16:24-25

Disconnection is one of our biggest social issues today

Social integration is the biggest factor for a healthy life

Suggestions that overcome fear/selfishness: 1) Die to self 2) Don't try the impossible without God 3) Fight for community Inside, while still taking it outside 4)Don't avoid areas of resistance 5) Do it before you think about it 6)Let God's love for you replace fear 7)Learn to love without an agenda 8)Decide what you are going to do beforehand

Smile at someone today😊😊😊
