Adam's Tuesday Night THOUGHT - September 30, 2014

Each week, I am sharing what we're calling Adam's Thought of the Night. We are planning on looking at the building blocks of the future Bloomington-Normal Campus.

Community of Hope - week #1

What does "community" mean to you?

Actual Definitions

•a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.

•a group of people living together in one place, especially one practicing common ownership.

•a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.

•COMMUNE (v.) – share yourself

•UNITY – united or joined together

Colossians 1
 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

KEY THOUGHT:
We are NOT building a community for fellowship sake.
We are joining together to bring the truth of our hope to the 70,000 people in Bloomington-Normal who don't yet have a church home!
