Practices: Community

If you are serious about your goal, the first and best thing you can do is find others who will help you get there.

Three Benefits from the practice of community: 

• Partnership: We can support and encourage one another (Prov. 27.17).
• Mentorship: We can learn from the wisdom and experience of others (1 Tim. 5.11-16).
• Synergy: The church is more than the sum of its parts (1 Cor. 12.7-11, 17-20). 

All of the practices are helpful; community is the practice that makes all of the others easier, more effective and more profitable.
