Weekend Service for November 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42-47

In our journey as a church, we have been exploring what it means to move forward together as a community of believers. Reflecting on our past, we have seen the buildings we've occupied and the challenges we've faced, all of which have shaped us into Parma Christian Fellowship Church. However, our focus is not just on where we've been, but on where we are going and how we will get there. This series, "Moving Forward," has guided us through understanding our leadership roles, the importance of serving, and now, the essence of community.

Today, we delve into Acts 2:42-47, which paints a picture of the early church as a vibrant, living community. The believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, sharing meals, and prayer. They lived in awe of the miraculous works among them, shared their possessions, and worshiped together with joy and generosity. This passage challenges us to embody these principles in our own community, emphasizing the importance of fellowship and shared experiences.

In our modern world, we are more connected than ever through technology, yet many feel isolated and lonely. This paradox highlights the need for genuine relationships and community. We are called to move beyond superficial connections and invest in meaningful relationships. This involves not just sitting in rows during services but engaging in circles—small groups where we can share our lives, support one another, and grow together.

As we look to the future, we are reminded that being a living community of Jesus Christ requires active participation. It takes leadership, service, and a commitment to building relationships. We are invited to say yes to community involvement, to prioritize our time with others, and to be intentional about where we invest our energy. By doing so, we create a space where memories are made, and lives are transformed.
