Brian Abasciano, "Community: Many Are Called, but Few Can Stand It"

Brian Abasciano

A sermon on the biblical concept of community by Brian Abasciano delivered on 7/23/2023 at Faith Community Church, Hampton, NH. This is a topical sermon that touches on a number of Scripture passages (1 John 3:11-18; Acts 2:42-47; Matt 18:15-17; Col 3:15-17; 1 Thes 5:11, 14-15; Rom 12:3-18; Eph 5:1-2; Rom 15:5-7; John 17:20-26; 13:34-35). Normally, I preach expositionally, but topical sermons are sometimes warranted. This one sets forth Faith Community Church's fundamental vision of church life. The title alludes to the fact that community is a high calling for the church, but a difficult one that finds many  unwilling to really live out.  The projector slides file for the sermon is attached on this page in an Open Document presentation file.
