Following Jesus can only be fully realised when we commit ourselves to do it within and alongside a loving community of believers. This includes both corporately in large gatherings and in smaller groups around tables.
The Invitation to follow Jesus is an Invitation to community. Which flies against our culture’s over-emphasis on individualism. In community, just like in silence and solitude, we are naked and unashamed. It brings out the best in us and the worst in us. The only way we can grow and be transformed is in these places of acceptance and love.
