Making your way in the world today takes everything you got.
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see our troubles are all the same.
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
You wanna go where people know people are all the same.
You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

COMMUNITY
Community of Love and Grace
1. What is involved in building community?
2. What are community “killers?”
3 How much community are each of us in our
group experiencing with others in the
group? What are our community strengths and
areas of need? In other words, where are we
really?
4. What expectations or desires do each of us have
of the others in KAIROS?
Community of Love and Grace
5. What commitment do I have to
KAIROS? Does there need to be a
change in my commitment level?

this community?
7. What is God doing in our midst?

Developing Community – Mt. 9:35-38

We See - Observation but also
Discernment - sensitivity to what
God’s Spirit is doing in that person’s
life, what is going on Lord. Good
and bad things are brought to light.
Envisioning - seeing what we can
become.
Developing Community – Mt. 9:35-38

We Trust - We trust what God says
about us about our hurting friend to
be true. We trust His promises. He
who has begun this good work in us
will bring it to completion. I can do
all things through Christ who
strengthens me. Never will I leave
you. Never will I forsake you
(Hebrews 13:5) We trust our brother
or sister in need.
Developing Community – Mt. 9:35-38

We Enter - We enter a person’s life not
as the doctor, the teacher, or the answer
man, but as a brother or sister who is on
the journey with them. We enter because
they trust us, because we too have been
vulnerable. They know that we, like they
are broken yet in Christ are strong. There
have been some storms during our
journey with Jesus and He has seen us
through. There is integrity, honesty, a
mutual sharing.
Developing Community – Mt. 9:35-38

We Touch - We have listened to our
friend in need. We have listened to
God and what He gives us what give
to them. It may be a hug, a verse
from scripture, some questions. May
be a rebuke or advice. We are
merely messengers of the Good
Shepherd who is giving us the
special privilege of being an under
shepherd.
"Let me give you a new command: Love one
another. In the same way I loved you, you love one
another. This is how everyone will recognize that you
are my disciples—when they see the love you have
for each other." John 13:34,35
