The 80s song “Personal Jesus” captures how most Christians see their faith. “Someone to hear your prayers; Someone who cares; Your own personal Jesus.” In seeking to personalize their faith, many have individualized it and failed to invest in the fellowship we need to grow. This message looks at the example of the early church and how to share our lives in fellowship.
