Messy Christianity…Amazing Love Produces a Contagious Environment

Scripture Emphasis:
Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.”
If a Vibrant Community of believers is defined by being Bible based, Christ centered and Grace driven, then a contagious environment is built through service. In God’s economy serving one another is perhaps the second greatest piece of the puzzle a believer has behind loving one another. In the Upper Room, Jesus links both together forever. If done correctly, it produces an unbelievable contagious environment.
