Episode #14 - Pathway to Purpose - Community

Deep Dive - A Mooroolbark Baptist Podcast

In this episode of Deep Dive, we continue our Pathway to Purpose series by exploring the essential role of Community in the Christian life. We’ll look at how community in the church reflects God’s design for His people and how being part of a church family helps us grow in faith, support one another, and stay grounded in our mission. Drawing from Acts 2:42-47 and Romans 12:15, we’ll consider why God calls us to live out our faith in fellowship, share life together, and build connections that keep us strong in faith and united in purpose.

Key Themes Discussed:

• Biblical Model of Community: We unpack Acts 2:42-47 to see how the early church embodied community by devoting themselves to fellowship, sharing life, and worshiping together.
• Living Life Together: True Christian community goes beyond Sunday gatherings. It’s about sharing our joys, supporting each other in challenges, and praying for one another as we navigate life’s ups and downs.
• Practical Ways to Build Community: Ideas for deepening our connections include serving together, fostering intentional fellowship, and prioritizing prayer for one another.

Practical Applications:

1. Connect with Someone New
2. Join a Small Group
3. Look for Ways to Serve
