Community
True community in Christ requires certain things.....
1 You must be willing to pay the price Col. 1:24-25
2. You must be willing to have only one purpose/passion- God won't compete for your attention Col 1:26-28, Col 2:2-4
3. You must understand the purpose of ministry Col 1:28
4. You must depend upon his power and discipline Col 1:29, Col. 2:5
5. You will have to make an investment of effort Col 2:1
6. You will have to make a choice to respond Col. 2:6-7
What choices am I presented with?
1. I choose to be alone or I choose to be with others Ecc 4:12, Heb. 10:25
2. I choose to pretend or to be real Matt 23:27, Ro 12:9, Eph 4:25
3. I choose the easy way of the hard way Eph 4:2, 1Thes 5:14, 1 Cor. 13:7
4. I choose comfort or I choose change John 10:10, 2 Cor 7:9, Prov. 27:17, Heb 10:24
