Focused and United

Jesus chose to spread His message by establishing the church.

“The church is not perfect, but woe to the man who finds pleasure in pointing out her
imperfections. I have no doubt that the Lord can see more faults in His church than I can. Yet, I have equal confidence that He sees no fault at all because He covers her faults with His own love, that love which covers a multitude of sins, that precious blood which washes away all the transgressions of His people.” - Charles Spurgeon

Jesus is teaching us that prayer, like our faith, is about community.

The real church is you—on mission—during the week.

Alone, you’ll end up in one of two places—either pride, thinking “I don’t need anyone,” or fear, thinking “I don’t have anyone.”

The gospel goes forth best when “I” becomes “us.”
