Scripture: Matthew 18:20; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10; Hebrews 10:24-25
Created for Connection
Not good to be alone.
Made in God’s image & likeness
Pre-wired for community
Meant for connection with God & others
Strength in Numbers
Alone we may be vulnerable and easily broken.
Together there is protection and power.
“The church is the only cooperative society in the world that exists for the benefit of its non-members.”
