Love One Another (Community)
Mar 9, 2025 • Pastor Mike Matheny
Jesus didn't design Christianity to be a solo adventure-He created the world's first social network where real relationships matter more than virtual connections. The early church grew explosively not through clever marketing but through authentic community, where people shared their lives, meals, and resources. Today's challenge is to move beyond surface-level church attendance to developing meaningful relationships that include mentors (Paul), accountability partners (Barnabas), and mentees (Timothy). True discipleship happens when we nurture important relationships, restore broken ones, redefine harmful connections, and actively love one another through caring, encouraging, partnering, protecting, and praying together.
