Created for Communion

Rediscover the power of Biblical friendships in Created for Communion. Created for Communion explores biblical friendship showing us how to befriend one another in holy ways-how to fulfill Jesus' commandment to love one another, even in our human imperfection.

It's time to rediscover Christlike friendships founded on the fellowship we have with God, made possible by Jesus' death and resurrection. Created for Communion explains how we are designed to share our lives with one another and explores a different Biblical relationship, showing how those friendships transformed each person. Study the remarkable examples set by David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, Jonah and his friends, Mary and Elizabeth, Jesus and his disciples, the friends of the paralytic man, and Paul and Timothy. In Created for Communion, you will: Develop a deeper understanding of why friendship is such an important part of Christian faith Study Biblical examples of love, encouragement, and connection Learn to see your friendships in a new way and become a better friend Discover how to build true, lasting Christian friendships As believers, we have a perfect model of friendship in Jesus, the ultimate friend. With prompts for reflection and action, this book gently encourages us to do the holy work of building and maintaining relationships that will, ultimately, draw us closer to God.
