Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Spirit-led community
This week we will be focusing on spirit-led community, one of Kingsland’s core values. Here at Kingsland, we value authentic community that extends out of our personal relationship with Jesus, and the Spirit-filled life to which we are called. We realize that true community happens naturally when we are fully, mutually dependent on the Lord. Bearing one another’s burdens, edification, mutual intercession, and corporate worship are the tools God uses to connect our hearts. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the most foundational purpose for our worship is that God is worthy to be sought by His People.

“For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all given one Spirit to drink. Indeed, the body is not one part but many. If the foot should say, ‘Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,’ it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,’ it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted. And if they were all the same part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.“
— 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
REMINDER: All Christians together are like Christ’s body. God has arranged a body to have many parts, and each part is necessary for a certain reason. Each Christian is like a part of the body. So, although Christians are different from each other, each one is necessary for a certain reason. God has done this because He wants us to show love to each other. He wants Christians to be different from each other; each one does something important for the benefit of other Christians. They have a relationship with each other; they need each other.
