Have you ever paid for a gym membership… but never actually used it? 😅
In this message, Pastor Scott Beardsley uses that relatable picture to reveal a powerful spiritual truth: belonging without participation produces no transformation.
From Hebrews 10:24–25, we’re reminded that God never designed the Christian life to be lived in isolation. When busyness, fatigue, pressure, or hurt pull us away from meaningful Christian community, our faith can slowly begin to weaken—not because we stopped believing, but because we stopped engaging.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
Why spiritual growth requires more than good intentions
How isolation makes faith more fragile
Why gathering with God’s people is a lifeline, not a box to check
How to shift from consuming church to contributing to community
Practical steps to get rooted in gospel-centered relationships
📖 Scripture: Hebrews 10:24–25
🙏 If you’ve been drifting, discouraged, or disconnected, the invitation is simple: come back, show up, and get rooted in community.
