Why do we need the church? What is the purpose of gathering together with other believers and worshipping God together? It might be more important and practical than you think. When we’re struggling, and even when we feel like isolating, the church reminds us that we don’t stand alone.

Notes

We don’t form what we like. We form what God fills.

We are made for connection, but we drift toward isolation.

Hebrews 10:25

1 Peter 5:8 ESV

Ephesians 2:19-22 MSG

Everybody needs God.

”What you believe about God is the most important thing about you.” Timothy Keller

The enemy wants to define you by your scars; Jesus wants to define you by His.

Don’t rehearse what’s missing - rehearse what God has done.

Everybody needs somebody.

Healing most often happens in the context of community.

James 5:16 ESV

Proverbs 14:7 TPT

Start serving - Join a Thrive Group - Get honest with someone.

It’s secrecy that keeps you stuck, and honesty that brings you out.

Somebody needs you.

Your story can be the stone that takes down someone else’s giant.
