The fact that Jesus himself spoke intently on "One Another" and just hours before his persecution left us with a New Command in John 13:34 where he says: "And now I give you a new commandment: love "One Another". As I have loved you, so you must love "One Another". If you have love for "One Another", then everyone will know that you are my disci

First and foremost, I am saved by the Grace of Jesus Christ by whom without I would be nothing. Under his Lordship I strive to abide in him as a family man with four children now all grown up and up until the last few years resided in Florida. However, being called to return home to New Jersey in prayer 6 months prior to my father's passing, I moved back up North at the end of 2018 to New Jersey's neighboring Pennsylvania. I love spending time with my kids and as I call him PappyG's little sweetheart or otherwise known as my grandson. One of my favorite hobbies is Mountain Biking and enjoying the thrill in the wide-open space of God's creation. I have a passion for serving others in and out of the Church and have been a Ministry Leader and Small Group Leader over the last 15 years. I enjoy publishing online daily devotions to share the Good News and live stream sermons the Lord puts on my heart to these channels when I am able! This is my first book which was inspired by the mentoring to of many precious people God placed into my life over the many years to come along side me and become the community this book speaks about and one that I believe in God's infinite power moved in my life and the lives of so many others to develop true Christian community and how that has played such an important role in my life for the last two decades, shaping me into the man I am and the man God is still leading me to become.

INTRODUCTION

God’s plan for mankind since the Garden of Eden has always been for us to be in relationship with Him and with our brothers and sisters. When we part from this earth and go to the place that Jesus has prepared for us, while there will be many rooms, there will only be two things other than God! That is right, two things, his Word and his Children which is why I like the phrase: All we take from this world when we return to our true home in Heaven is relationships!

We do not take our mansions, assuming you had one here on earth but for most folks our homes, our cars, our boats, our jewelry, our furniture, our money and so many other things we hold onto so dearly here on earth! As Jesus said in John 6:27: "Do not work for food that spoils; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him."

And as the scriptures go, the crowds whom Jesus miraculously fed the day before had followed Him to Capernaum the next day but were seeking him for earthly things not what he had truly offered them the day before. While the signs and wonders he performed when he fed the 5000 had a purpose like giving testimony to whom he was to all through the miracle he had performed, the people much like the Pharisees simply just did not see the truth that was right in front of them. But rather then following him as he was calling the lost to follow him, they were seeking entertainment and free food as John testifies in his Gospel in John 6:26 where Jesus answered, "I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my
