When people live in community moved by the Gospel and marked by the gift of the Spirit, great things happen. They commit to one another. They grieve together, sing together, eat, pray, and play together. They love, serve, honor, encourage, and provide for each other gladly. And they live on mission together. Hearts are healed, walls come down, and outsiders come in. No competition. No pretense. No vain conceit. Just full hearts breaking bread and giving freely.
That's the image of the Church that Willis is able to share with us in Life in Community. It's an amazing study for those of us who find ourselves living in the shadow of what God has destined for the world for us in Christ's Body. Reclaiming Scripture's stunning vision of Gospel-centered community, Life in Community inspires us to live in love unbounded. Read it, live it, and join the movement: Help unleash the power of extraordinary community.
