Our youth are in lots of different communities ranging from sports teams to families to their fourth period algebra class. Community in Christ can and should look and feel different from their other communities. But does it? This three-part series aims to give a picture of community as Christ intends it and to assist a group or class in developing it.

This is an ideal study to help your group develop a philosophy of how they want to “be together.” This could be a great series to do for back to school or another time of year when it seems the group needs to connect.

These lessons are designed to be used as a large group lesson followed by breakout groups. If you have a smaller group or don’t have the luxury of other trusted leaders who let you break up, feel free to keep the group together for the whole lesson.

In this day and age it seems hard to find contentment. Social media has many of us comparing ourselves to others and finding ourselves lacking in one way or another.
