Fire Pit Discussion:

1.HERE in the United States, we value individuality almost too much. Men, especially, fall hard for this line. We are self-sufficient. We want to stand on our own two feet. We can do it on our own. We even apply the idea to our experience of faith, saying, "It's a private matter. This is between me and God." Christian faith, however, finds its strongest expression in community. Jesus invested himself in relationship with a small group of followers, and he expects us, his disciples, to support one another.

2.References:

•Philippians 2:1-2 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, . . . comfort from his love . . . fellowship with the Spirit . . . tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

•Ephesians 4:15 Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
