The Habit of Community

What we do is what we become. Christians replace cultural habits we've imbibed with spiritual habits we intentionally embrace. What if we thought of our spiritual community as a spiritual habit?

The sermon today is titled "The Habit of Community." It is the ninth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the first in the sub-series "Spiritual Habits." The Scripture reading is from Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on March 30, 2025. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Spiritual Disciplines.
