Year of Unusual

One thing that has stood out to me during this season is that it’s just not normal. The Lord put on my heart that this year would be surrounded by the word “unusual,” and if we would do the unusual, God would do the extraordinary. I had no idea then that things would be as unusual as they are right now, but God did.

I don’t like being away from people, away from you. We have been wired by God for relationship with Him and connection with each other. As we come to the close of our study in Romans, it’s interesting to me how the Apostle Paul ends this most amazing letter. He starts going through a list of names. He says hello to this person, honors another, calls them brothers, sisters, and one was like a mother to him. It’s clear that for Paul, the family was essential! These family relationships, the gathering of the saints, are essential to our lives. You are essential!

Family is Essential

In this series, we are discovering how essential the family of God really is. We’ll explore why this family gathering has been unstoppable throughout history. How God made you for community. How to combat loneliness. The secret power of the gathering of believers. How the right relationships can be a catalyst for your life and so much more.

While our in-person gatherings have stopped temporarily, we are still connecting more than ever. Now is a great time to connect with a Life Group. You can spend extra time making memories with your family. Make some phone calls, send text messages, or write somebody a note at least once a day—just stay connected. The Scriptures reveal this truth: We need each other, and we are better together.
