This particular video does not describe the community though. Is it a village where all our like minded Christians? do they all live together on the same property? Just wondering. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

The Holy Spirit so moved men to embody the Kingdom of God in community as we read in Acts 2 and 4. I believe too that God through love will draw men together so that community happens.
I would comment though that the film represents and ideal which, sadly, the community in question does not really practice. Jesus' disciples must be led by the Holy Spirit, not by fear of an overbearing and all powerful elder (or "senior pastor"). |  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
