Living Connected
Aug 17, 2025 • John Kilavos
This message emphasizes that we were created for more than material success—we were made for deep relationships with God and one another. True discipleship means moving from simply attending church to belonging as family, learning to live like Jesus, and growing through authentic connections. Scripture reminds us that while the world often leaves people relationally poor through busyness, convenience, and technology, the church is called to model a better way. A strong Christian community is marked by sharing openly, accepting flaws, and standing together in life’s battles. Community isn’t optional—it’s essential for discipleship and for showing Christ’s love to the world.
