Community life at the Vineyard

Community life is important to us at Vineyard Amsterdam. A few weeks ago, I taught on What Happens When God Shows Up, out of Acts 6:1-7.

But we also saw in Acts 6 that growth can bring challenges... because the more people come together, whether it's in families, schools, clubs or churches... the more our differences become obvious.
