What if following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey?
In Acts 2, the early church didn't simply gather for a service—they created a community centered on Jesus. They shared life, worshiped together, prayed together, served one another, met practical needs, and helped each other grow.
In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores why biblical community is essential to abiding in Jesus.
Because the people God places around us can help us become more like Christ.
But authentic community requires more than simply showing up at church.
It requires us to move from attendance to belonging.
Pastor Ken explores three obstacles that can keep us from experiencing the kind of community God designed:
Pride and self-sufficiency — believing, "I've got this," when God created us to need one another.
Busyness and misplaced priorities — allowing our schedules to make spiritual community optional.
Past hurts and unresolved offenses — allowing what happened in unhealthy relationships to keep us from the healthy relationships God wants to bring into our lives.
The answer isn't isolation.
The answer to unhealthy community is healthy biblical community.
Ecclesiastes 4 reminds us that when one person falls, another can help them back up—and Scripture assumes that eventually, we all need someone.
So the question isn't whether you'll need community.
The question is:
Will you allow yourself to be part of one?
