The Power of We (Triple Threat Series)

The power of community and connection is essential in the Christian walk. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the example of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to illustrate how individual greatness can only go so far without a team. Drawing from Acts 2, he emphasizes the importance of spiritual fellowship, life groups, and being planted in a church family to experience growth, support, and transformation.Verses:Acts 2:42–47, 1 Corinthians 1:9, Philippians 3:10, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 10:24–25, Psalm 92:13Key Points/Topics Covered:The Christian life is meant to be lived in community, not isolationConnection with God is the foundation for all other relationshipsLife groups provide a space for deeper fellowship and spiritual growthChurch is not just a place to attend but a family to belong toBeing planted in the right environment leads to flourishingTime Stamps:00:00 - Welcome and 1980s Nostalgia05:30 - Michael Jordan and the Power of Teamwork10:45 - Introduction to the Message: The Power of We14:00 - The Early Church Model in Acts 221:30 - Signs and Wonders in Everyday Life26:15 - Three Vital Connections for Every Believer28:00 - Connection with God33:00 - Connection with Others and Importance of Life Groups40:15 - Connection with a Church Family47:00 - The HOV Lane Analogy and Invitation to Join a Church Family52:00 - Prayer of Salvation and CommitmentMain Takeaways:- The Christian journey is not meant to be walked alone; community is essential for growth and support.- A strong connection with God empowers all other relationships and areas of life.- Being planted in a church family provides covering, encouragement, and opportunities to flourish.Call to Action:Join a life group at Eagles Nest Church to experience authentic community and spiritual growth.
