Why You Feel Disconnected at Church

In this message, Jeffrey Johnson explores what it truly means to be “plugged in” to the life of the church, drawing from Paul’s closing exhortation in 2 Corinthians 13. Addressing common struggles—whether you’re new, long-time, hurt, or simply feeling disconnected—he emphasizes that unity in the church doesn’t happen passively. It requires intentional effort shaped by the right attitude, the right actions, and ultimately, the right source of strength.Johnson highlights three essential attitudes for healthy church connection: joyfulness, agreeableness, and a calm, settled spirit. These internal qualities naturally lead to outward actions like pursuing peace, practicing humility, showing love, and taking initiative in building relationships. Even small steps—like greeting others and engaging in fellowship—play a meaningful role in fostering unity.Ultimately, this sermon points believers back to the true source of lasting connection: God Himself. Through the grace of Christ, the love of the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to overcome offense, pursue unity, and remain faithfully connected to the body of Christ.
