Christianity Is a Team Sport

Sermon Notes

What is community, and why is it so important for believers to have? David Marvin and Rob Berry dive into the importance of having people you call community and authentically, consistently, and resiliently doing life with them. In each of our lives, there have been moments where we want to hit the eject button, but may we be a church that doesn't leave when things get hard with a brother or sister in Christ but rather press on. 

Join us to learn what scripture says about bearing with one another and being fully known and fully loved by those we are in community with. After this sermon, you might find yourself reaching out to CityBridge staff to join a community group, or you and your current community may realize the need for a pulse check to ensure you're living in fellowship the way Christ intended.
