The Gospel-Centered Community - How Community Shapes Us In The Gospel

Trinity Community Church

Join Pastor Kelly Kinder in the enlightening sermon “How Community Shapes Us in The Gospel.” Explore the profound effects of our desires on our spiritual life, rooted in the biblical account of Adam and Eve from Genesis 3:6-13. Kelly examines how these desires, when not aligned with God’s will, lead to sin and separation from Him.
The sermon highlights the manipulation of our desires by external forces like Satan, resulting in deception and the subsequent feelings of shame and fear. Through the teachings of St. Augustine and biblical reflections, Kelly demonstrates how our self-focused nature can be transformed by God’s grace, emphasizing the need for a community centered on Christ for true spiritual growth.
Discover the difference between a functional community, aimed at serving individual needs, and a formative community, where challenges and spiritual struggles are seen as opportunities for growth. Kelly discusses the importance of staying committed to such a community, sharing insights on accountability, prayer, mentorship, and fellowship.
The message of “How Community Shapes Us in The Gospel” is a call to step into the light of God’s presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to work within us for healing and restoration. This sermon will inspire you to examine your desires, understand their impact on your spiritual journey, and embrace the transformative power of living in a gospel-centered community.
