Breaking Bread & Building Bridges

Breaking Bread & Building Bridges
John 13:34-35

Created for Community

• Reconciled relationships are life’s expression
  
• Community is a reflection of the moral nature of God “Elohim” (plural)
  
• We were created for community
  
• But, we look everywhere else, “looking for love in all the wrong places”
  
• We were created for His pleasure and our purpose in life is to bear His image!

It is not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that make us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that makes us Christians.

Go through, Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up, Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the peoples!
Isaiah 62:10
