    Built for One Another

    In this sermon, “Built for One Another,” Shawn Green contrasts a consumer mindset with the biblical vision of church as a committed, Spirit-formed community. Drawing from Acts 2:42–47 and Ephesians 2:21, he describes how the early church was marked by shared life, generosity, hospitality, prayer, and public witness. The message challenges listeners to move beyond simply attending church to truly belonging and serving together, growing in Christ, and reaching out to “one more” person in need of hope. Healthy churches, he emphasizes, are not built by consumers but by followers of Jesus devoted to God and one another. Send us Fan Mail
