“Community”
“The condition of living with others in
close relationships of interdependence”
Hello and welcome to Royal Oaks Church Online!
“Royal Oaks” is a beautiful name and it reflects what God has been
doing in our personal lives, the life of our congregation and will do in the
future. It derives its genesis from Isaiah 61:1-3, where God speaks
prophetically to the nation of
People today, long for warm, meaningful and sincere relationships.
Children desire the love of their parents.
Teenagers sense the need to belong to peer groups. Adults seek others with whom they can share
common interests. Seniors want to
actively participate in the lives of their children.
Unfortunately, if our need for healthy relationships is not met,
we are left disillusioned, fragmented and lonely. We experience an emptiness that God never
intended for us to have. Jesus Christ
modeled abundant, honest, committed relationships with others. He began His ministry with a small group of
twelve individuals. He ate with them,
traveled with them and developed close relationships with them. So deep was the interaction among them that
they developed a “community from within a community.” Today, we know this “community” as the
church.
