We're Better TOGETHER! [Part 4] | Kevin G. Swann // Ivy Baptist Church

We’re Better Together | Part 4: Community In Part 4, Pastor takes us to Acts 2:42–47 to remind us of something we can’t afford to forget: we are called to be a community of believers, not just a church. Church is not only a place we go or an event we attend. It’s who we are, and it’s how we live. This message challenges us to reclaim the power of the early church by rebuilding real community: devoted to the Word, committed to fellowship, breaking bread together, and praying together. When community is strong, awe for God rises, needs get met, and the Lord adds to the church daily. Scripture Focus Acts 2:42–47 (NLT), Matthew 18:19, Galatians 6:2, 1 Corinthians 12:12–20 The 5 C’s for 2026. We’re better together because of: Community Connection Covenant Carry (we carry each other’s burdens) Character In this sermon, you’ll hear: Why church is more than a building or a Sunday routine The three B’s of the church: Being, Becoming, Belonging What the early church devoted themselves to (and what we’ve drifted from) Why community comes before signs, wonders, and spiritual impact Why the world will be drawn to Jesus when they see believers truly caring for one another The question every church has to answer: If people watched how we treat each other, would they want to join us? We’re better than checking a box. We’re better than showing up and staying disconnected. God called us to a community where nobody falls through the cracks. New here?
