Are We Community-centered Or Gospel-centered?
Friday, February 27th, 2009As we look for a new church, one important aspect is finding community outside of the Sunday service. It’s important, though, that we be Gospel-centered, and not community centered, according to this article from Jonathan Dodson.
Does your church, your community, your small group, your missional community gather in anticipation of being reminded of the gospel, corrected in the gospel, motivated by the gospel, to sing of the gospel? If not, what can you do to reshape community expectations around the gospel, not community? Have you become too mature for community or too community centered for the gospel? Consider how to make the gospel central and community will follow.
