Colors of Community

txt msg.

When I think of community I think of a watercolor painting. I love watercolor paintings because they are so difficult to paint and it is impossible to keep the colors from bleeding together. Part of the beauty of a watercolor painting is the fact that the colors intermingle and bleed together to create a masterpiece. If all of the colors in the painting were separate there would be no depth to the painting. The mixture of colors is what makes the painting what it is.

It’s like this in community as well. We all bring an individual color to the mosaic of our community and as we mix together and live in community those colors bleed together to create something beautiful. It was like this in the early church as well:

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. Acts 4:32-35

There are also individual colors that make up community that I want to explore on Friday night. We are going to make a visual masterpiece of the community we have at the DOOR. You will not want to miss out! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. God bless!
