Paul in 1 Cor. 12:26 gives two principles for belonging to a body of believers, that is suffering with those who suffer, and celebrating with those who have a reason for celebrating. That is the method recommended by Paul in how to practice the art of belonging amongst a community of believers. And with that principle, we are also to extend out to the community around us.

Join us this Sunday at Lakeview Community Church at 10:45 a.m., as Pastor Paul Kozar wraps up his series on “The Art of Inclusion.”

Our reading this week will come from Eph. 5:15-21:

15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
