Roots | Rooted in Intentional Community
As we look at the values that define who we are as a church, our second value is Intentional Community. From the beginning, God has always had a heart for community. His design is for us to do life together. If God’s plan is to create and establish community, Satan will do everything he can to disrupt and dismantle it. If the enemy can isolate you, he can destroy you. Hebrews 10 reminds us why we need each other and why God puts people in our lives who need us. We need people around us who will help us look up, wake up, get up, and stay up. We need people who will encourage us when we begin to pull away, care enough to call out sin, help carry our burdens when we fall, and lock arms with us as we keep marching forward. God wants you to do life with people. If you have found yourself pulling away or living in loneliness and isolation, don’t listen to the voice of the enemy. Be bold enough and humble enough to say, “God, I need community.” We all need people to do life with because it’s the way God created us. We have to be intentional about community.
