Highway Media: What Is Community?

This man-on-the-street video poses the question,
“What Is Community?”

“If you don’t have community,” says one respondent, “you don’t really have anything. You don’t have fellowship, friendship or business. You are just broken.”

Synopsis: Man-on-the-street documentary on the subject of community. What is community? Is community important? How do you find community if you don’t have it?

Application: A wide variety of answers, but for the most part, community was of the utmost importance, even to folks who appeared to be homeless. If humankind was designed to live in community, how do we orchestrate our own communities?

Suggested Uses: A sermon on the importance of community. Discussion starter about what it means to be part of a community.

Runtime: 3:44

How Does Understanding God’s Happiness Change Lives?

As much as I believe in the holiness of God, I also believe in emphasizing God’s happiness as a legitimate and effective way to share the gospel with unbelievers or to help Christians regain a foothold in their faith.

You Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Please Everyone

Learning to balance the natural tension of loving and caring for people, but not allowing someone to leverage their personal agenda or hijack the vision of your church is part of the leader’s responsibility.
