We The Church- Are Committed To Community! Pastor Amy Hansen

Church isn’t just about showing up, it’s about showing up for each other. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, lonely in a crowd, or unsure if you truly belong at church, this message is for you. In week four of our We the Church series, we’re diving into what it really means to be committed to community. The Bible calls the church a spiritual family — not a building or an event, but a group of people called to love, encourage, forgive, and live life together. So why does that feel so hard sometimes? We explore powerful scriptures like 1 John 3, Ephesians 2, and 1 Thessalonians 5, unpacking our identity as children of God, and our role as members of God’s household. Whether you’re wrestling with church hurt, feeling alone in your faith, or just wondering how to build real relationships in church — you’re not alone. 📖 You’ll learn: What it means to be a spiritual family, not just a Sunday crowd Why your past experiences shape how you approach community How to heal from disconnection and start showing up for others What the Bible says about encouraging, honouring, forgiving, and working together Practical steps to commit to community, even when it's messy Church isn’t perfect, but it’s the family God gives us, and He’s building something beautiful through us. So let’s choose connection over isolation, “we” over “me”, and commit to becoming the community Jesus calls us to be.
