In this series, we will explore why sharing is the natural expression of God’s community. The blessings that God has shared with his people are abundant and overflowing. Being a part of the community of God requires the embodiment of a sharing heart and spirit. This series was inspired by an unattributed quote, “When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence.” This quote seems to capture the heart of God and the heart of the Community of God. Our desire to grow as a church must be fueled by our commitment to share.
Starting with a description of God’s character, we will launch into this series by making the case that it is of paramount importance to believe, embrace and embody God’s character first. When we live into God’s character, the natural outflow should be the sharing of God’s character, particularly His grace.
The community of God loves worshipping God. The gracious and loving God has invited us into his presence to worship. Do we see the import of sharing this invitation with others to be a part of God’s gathering?
The generosity of God is on full display in our lives. Even the poor among us possess a wealth that is not experienced in most parts of the world. How does the community of God view their wealth and how willing are we to share this wealth with others?
On this Sunday, those involved in the missions to Guyana and Honduras will share their ministries with the church. In highlighting these missions, we will see the importance of sharing God’s real estate (the globe) with others.
