We often fear those who are different from us. Otherness makes us uncomfortable. Yet, the kind of togetherness God calls us to cultivate is one that makes space for those who are different from us. This week, we explore God’s heart for the stranger and how we as the Church are called to embrace and welcome them in.

The difference between a good story and bad story are editors. Every one of us is living a story. We need editors in our lives to help us make sure we're living a story worth telling. How do we invite others into the editing process?

Have you ever been hit with a reality check? Have you ever been disappointed when something didn't live up to your expectations? This week, we explore the tension between our dream of community and the reality of community, and how God calls us to hold our ideals and expectations in a healthy way.

A healthy community is often marked by a culture of encouragement. Encouragement is what the Gospel feels like as it moves from one believer to another. This week, we explore the power of encouragement and what the Korean word "Nunchi" teaches us about togetherness.

Why is it so hard to cultivate and maintain deep, meaningful relationships in our lives? Why do we continue to walk through life isolated and alone, trying to figure it out on our own? One of the greatest dangers the American Church faces in our day is extreme individualism. We are socialized to believe that our needs are more important than the needs of the community. How do we recover the togetherness of the early Church when the Church was a family?

In seasons of transition, how do we move onto what’s next well? As we explore the story of Joshua and the Israelites crossing over the Jordan, we discover God’s heart for our community in this moment.

Life has a way of hardening us. And if we're not careful, the struggles, disappointments, and burdens of life end up hardening our hearts. Calloused hearts keep us from experiencing God moving in and through us in our everyday lives. The question is, how do we remain tender? How do we keep an open heart to God in the face of disappointment and hardship?

Spontaneity is a polarizing term, especially in today's day and age. Everyone wants to forecast and fulfill their goals without factoring in the idea of unpredictability. Have you ever thought about how God had blessed you in the most unconventional, random moments?

Perhaps there is some value in creating space for spontaneity, so the Spirit can help you bear fruit from your faith.
