Gathering Around Jesus
The early church didn’t gather because they had the same personalities, political views, or hobbies. They gathered around a Person—Jesus. When Jesus becomes the center of your relationships, everything changes. Community stops being about finding people who are just like you and becomes about finding people who are pursuing the same Savior. Notice what the believers devoted themselves to: teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. These weren’t programs or events; they were rhythms of life together. Where is Jesus in your relationships? Is He the center, or just an add-on? Today, evaluate your closest relationships. Are they pulling you toward Jesus or away from Him? Remember Jim Rohn’s words: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Choose community that points you to Christ.

Before we jump into the scripture for today, would you join me in prayer?Lord, I ask that as I go to Your word to see what You have to say about being together, You would show me what this looks like in my life. Help me to see how my spiritual health has so much to do with the spiritual health of those I am in relationship with....
Live in Harmony
As followers of Jesus, we are called to live in such a way that we look different to the outside world. The way we interact with others matters; it should be like the way Jesus acted toward others. He lived a sacrificial life, always placing other’s needs before His own, and we should too. In Tree Church Kids, we use the scripture Matthew 7:12: Treat others the way you want to be treated. I think ...
