Love
How can we show love to others? How can we go out of our way to bless people? How can we show the love of God through our love? We love because He first loved us. Let’s live this out!

The Grove - The Church
A church is so much more than a building. A church is the body of believers gathering together, growing together, and serving each other. Last night we were a church in so many ways, not just because we had our first service (which is very exciting!). Church is making pizza and eating a meal together. Church is Chris G. making gluten free pizza so Chris S. could eat. We talked about Acts 2:42-47. The believers in that time had everything in common. We thought that a big part of that was the fact that they were all living for the same thing. They were completely committed to the Great Commission – “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations…” All of the other little differences didn’t matter because the main thing did. Acts 2:47 says, “And the Lord added daily to their numbers those who were being saved.” What would it look like for that to happen in our context. The believers were meeting daily in public and at each other’s houses. People saw them out and about and I’m going to guess that their hearts were in the right place and they were great witnesses for Christ. We want to be like this. We want our actions to match who Christ has asked us to be. We want to be out there in the community living life on purpose.
Would someone look at you and think you are totally sold out for Christ? How can you build up others and have “everything in common” with people from The Grove?
