Contentment

This week at my local church and throughout the week at our community groups we are studying commitment.  This webpage discusses 'unshakable Christian contentment' based on a passage from Philippians.  Or, check out this web page for an additional study on being content as a Christian.

Experiencing community

I've started looking into more and more about what it means to be in community within the church (both local and worldwide).  Community and small groups seem to be real buzz words in church circles still today, even though this new phenomenon started back around the 1970s and 1980s. Why is that? Are community groups really important? What is it about today's culture that we're still intent on establishing community groups?
