NOTES:

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 

Hebrews 10:23–25 (NIV)

You may be ONE community away from changing your life!

THREE COMMUNITIES WE NEED.

1. A Community that CHALLENGES you.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. 

Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)

2.  A Community who FIGHTS for you.

A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. 

Proverbs 17:17 (NLT)

3.  A Community who tells you the TRUTH.

An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. 

Proverbs 27:5–6 (NLT)

BOTTOM LINE:

God uses PEOPLE to form PEOPLE.

THE CHALLENGE:

Have ONE UNHURRIED conversation.
