COMMUNITY: The Strength You Don’t Have // Summer Lean In series (part 4) // Pastor Drew

"If you disconnect yourself from the body of Christ, you're disconnecting yourself from life. We were not designed to follow Jesus as just two, but as a three-corded strand that is not quickly broken. It's not just me and Him—it is me, Him, and the body of Christ." — Pastor Drew Are you trying to walk out your faith entirely on your own? In this continuation of our Summer Lean In series, Pastor Drew shares a timely message on the undeniable power and necessity of biblical community. Summertime is often a season where schedules shift and our spiritual focus can easily drift. Pastor Drew warns against the enemy's trap of isolation and unpacks how the right community is absolutely essential for a spiritual life set on fire. Diving into social psychology statistics and biblical truth, this sermon breaks down the 4 essential types of relationships every Christian needs to thrive. Finally, honoring Father’s Day, the message concludes with a powerful challenge regarding spiritual leadership, romantic relationships, and the life-changing impact of a father's blessing. --------------------------------------------- 📖 Bible References & Study Links Matthew 6 : 33 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MAT.6.33.ESV Psalm 16 : 11 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.16.11.ESV Ecclesiastes 4 : 12 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ECC.4.12.ESV Hebrews 10 : 23-25 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/HEB.10.23-25.ESV 2 Corinthians 6 : 14 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/2CO.6.14.ESV 1 Corinthians 4 : 15-17 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1CO.4.15-17.ESV Psalm 27 : 10 – https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.27.10.ESV --------------------------------------------- 00:00 A Father's Day Challenge & Summer Lean In 04:39 The Danger of Summer Drift & The Power of Community 12:12 Hebrews 10: Why We Need Biblical Accountability 22:38 The 4 Relationships Every Christian Needs 31:32 Guarding Your Heart: Romantic Relationships & Spiritual Fathers 42:35 Altar Call: Receiving a Father’s Blessing & Closing Prayer --------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!
