Collective: Finding Life Together

In a world that is broken and lonely, how do we think about friendship? Through this series we will see that friendship is a great gift from God to his people. We will see that the Bible points people to Jesus and helps them grow in obedience to him. 

FRIENDSHIP.

It's no secret that those who are closest to us can wound us the most profoundly. Reeling from betrayal, we build walls around our hearts to protect us from the heartache, yet these are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing and feeling love. It's time to tear down your walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships and discover the power of an open heart.

Christ commanded that His disciples share the Gospel with the rest of the world. As believers, we are especially passionate about our loved ones coming to the saving grace of God.
