Welcome to Week 8 of our Life Blood series! 🙌

Today’s message takes a powerful turn—from the vertical (what we believe about God) to the horizontal (how we live with one another). We’re digging into the line from the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe in the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints.”

What does that actually mean?
Why does belonging matter just as much as believing?
And how do we live out the love of Jesus—not just in theory, but through deep, honest, Spirit-filled community?

In Matthew 22, Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God—and then added: “The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
But in Luke 10, He flips the script and shows us: the real question isn’t “Who is my neighbor?”—it’s “Will I be one?”

Because following Jesus was never meant to be a solo act.
We were made in the image of a relational God—formed for community, called to connection, and invited to build something sacred together.

So whether you’re exploring faith, new to church, or hungry for deeper spiritual friendships—this message is for you.

💬 Sermon in a Sentence:You weren’t just saved to believe—you were saved to belong.
