Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

Key idea

we were created to live in community with one another!

Remember, we were created to live in community with one another! Surrounding ourselves with like-minded people keeps us safe from wandering off the path on our own. It isn’t always easy to accept, but we need guidance and accountability if we hope to live out our purpose.

Likewise, you can help your friends maintain their connection with God by lovingly redirecting them to God and his Word when you see them becoming distracted by sin.

What is a benefit you have gotten from being in a Christian community, whether it be in a youth group, Sunday service, small group or summer camp? (Take a few moments for students to share.)

ASK: If a friend has never been a part of a church community, what would you say is the best way to get involved in a church so that you can be a part of a Christian community?

Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

Galatians 6:1
