Live Together

Acts 2:42-47 

The Need for Community

They got together daily to meet each others needs

The most difficult lie that we have to contend with is:“Life is a story about me.”

There is no drug so habit forming as the drug of self and no addiction as powerful as self-addiction

Community is about unconditional love

The Need for Fellowship

They got together daily to share and enjoy being with one another

Metaphors for the subject of cancer:

Battle cancer, fight cancer, beat cancer, rebuild white blood cells – WAR terms

What metaphors do we use when we think of relationships?

Value people, invest in people, people are priceless, relationships could be bankrupt – ECONOMIC terms

Are we going to be able to live together?

Are you ready to ask God to forgive you of your self-addiction?
