At the height of his ministry, Jesus attracted huge crowds numbering in the thousands, primarily in the areas of Galilee and Perea (in modern-day Israel and Jordan respectively).[35] Some of Jesus’ most famous teachings come from the Sermon on the Mount, which contained the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus often employed parables, such as the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Parable of the Sower. His teachings encouraged unconditional self-sacrificing God-like love for God and for all people. During his sermons, he preached about service and humility, the forgiveness of sin, faith, turning the other cheek, love for one’s enemies as well as friends, and the need to follow the spirit of the law in addition to the letter.[36]
I guess a ministry of thousands might be considered a community? Sounds kinda like organizing too, preaching about service…
