We are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. We need each other. God put us together…like Abraham that we might become true friends. Like Moses, so that we might be real and authentic with each other…like Elijah and Elisha that we might grow from each other.
This won’t happen on Sunday. It just can’t. It can certainly start here…but growing in relationships with each other happens outside of our meetings. It happens in homes…over food…in small groups…in one-on-one encounters. And it doesn’t happen by accident. It only happens intentionally.

In a world of 7.9 billion people, we’ve never been lonelier or felt so isolated. We spend our time staring at screens and participating in life virtually. This was never God’s intention. Dr. Jim Mann’s sermon series “Living Stones: The Significance of Community explores how God created us for relationships, and just how important those are for His church.
