thankful to be living in community with other believers

It would be impossible to explain the spiritual warfare and stress of my Sunday mornings as a pastor. I certainly could not get my kids ready for corporate worship with our church family AND preach. Thankfully, the four kids are split up in the homes of three NEHBC families tonight. The help of these families is a tremendous blessing to me. It's also a great reminder of the blessing of living together in community with a church family. Biblical community means we minister to each other in times of need; joyfully sacrificing and being inconvenienced out of a commitment to each other's well being all for the glory of God. I'm grateful for these families who are being community for me tonight!
