And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)Prayer Direction
Thank God for the people in your life who have reached out and invited you into true Christian community. Pray for Shoreline Church to be a place of loving community and God-honoring harmony. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the value and importance of meeting with God’s people regularly and to fully engage in Christian community.“Live It!” Challenge
Try a Group If you are not part of one, try being part of a Growth Group or Community Group for three months. Give your full commitment and make it a priority to be with your group each time they meet. To learn more about these groups, visit the Connection Center on Sunday or call the church and ask for Patty Whitmore.Small Group Discussion

Read: Hebrews 10:22-25 What are ways we can “spur one another on toward love and good deeds”? How have other Christians taken this role in your life and challenged you to live more for Jesus?
What are some of the reasons Christians stop meeting together and move away from consistent community? What can we do to remove some of these reasons and make deeper commitments to be in community with each other?
How can being part of a Growth Group, Community Group, or Ministry Team in the church help connect us together and deepen our faith?
