—Romans 12:9-21
Right relationships with God lead to strong communities of people. This passage gives us many “to do” items, and I love how they are all mixed together between things we do for God and things we do for others. Being devoted in prayer is right next to contributing to missionaries. Practicing hospitality is in the same sentence as being fervent in spirit. Worship is an act of service to the Lord; service to our brethren is an act of worship of our God. And this service comes through investment in our communities—both the faith families of our churches and the wider communities in which we live and work.
