Summary
As we begin to wrap up our week on boundaries and vision, today we’ll explore having clear vision for community. All of us will likely fall in different places with this topic today. It is my prayer you discover what is healthy and God-ordained for you in regards to community—and that may look completely different than someone else! We all have different capacity, and it’s very important to remember that as we discuss living life with others in community. May our hearts be open today to whatever the Lord might speak.
Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 18:20, and today's worship is Heart and Hands by Sean Feucht, Pat Barrett & Amanda Cook.
