“Community” is why you should attend a 242 Group tonight.   By Community, I am not referring to the NBC sitcom.  Long before that show became a hit, I was using the word “community” as a singular description of how God wants us to live our faith out with other Christians.   The following points are from a sermon I preached a few years ago called “What is Community?”   As you consider your 242 groups tonight, I hope you consider these observations about community.

What is community?

1. Doing life together (Acts 2:42)

2.  Weathering adversity together (Ecclesiastes 2:9-10)

3. Celebrating victories together (Psalm 20:1-5)
