Why can't I just follow Jesus in my heart? Why do I have to belong to a church? And if I do become a member, how do I make the most of my time at church?

Today, we will explore how and why the early followers of Jesus formed a tight-knit Christian community. And we'll offer practical ways to immerse yourselves in the life of the church.

Prayer Wall:
Last week, our congregation wrote down the names of people they knew who don't know Jesus and placed them in the rock wall on stage. Our online members were able to submit names via text message

This week, we encouraged church members to come up to the stage after the service in order to take a name and pray for that person.

If you are watching or listening online, you can participate by texting "PRAYER" to the number 615-560-7729. We will respond with the first name of a real person for you to pray for!

Key Text: Colossians 4:7-17
