[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Together On The JourneyActs 2:42-47Pastor Philip Miller In the early centuries of the Roman Empire, Christians faced intense persecution for refusing to worship the emperor or other gods, leading to widespread suspicion and marginalization. Yet, Christianity grew rapidly because it offered a radically different kind of community—one centered on a personal relationship with God and open to all people, regardless of background. This new identity in Christ created a multi-racial, forgiving, caring, life-affirming, and covenant-keeping society that stood in stark contrast to Roman norms and attracted many. The earliest Christian community, as seen in Acts 2, embodied this transformative way of life, one that continues to shape lives and communities today through worship, community, service, and mission. The Journey of a LifetimeKnow God through WorshipGod created people to know Him personally and be in relationship with Him. Through worship, individuals respond to God's greatness with reverence, gratitude, and surrender. Worship includes gathering regularly with others to hear God's Word, pray, and praise Him. Feed Your Soul through CommunityFollowing Jesus is not a solo journey. Community provides encouragement, accountability, and spiritual growth. Small groups, classes, and relationships rooted in faith help individuals grow stronger and remain connected. Grow in Love through ServiceLoving others through service reflects the heart of Jesus. Using time, talents, and spiritual gifts to serve in the church and beyond builds up the body of Christ and strengthens personal faith. Change Your World through MissionEvery follower of Jesus is called to live on mission, sharing the gospel and meeting needs locally and globally. This includes acts of compassion, speaking truth, and living out faith in everyday life to reflect Christ’s love to the world. Takeaway: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
