Humans have a tendency to divide ourselves based on all kinds of identified differences, many of which are undeniable and real. Some are even seemingly unable to be reconciled. We separate over socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, language, political persuasion and much more. Jesus comes to create one people out of many and to unify those who would look to Him in faith as the Way to the Father. Jesus makes it possible for us to pursue unity in Him even with people we may not understand or relate to. He calls us to be people who build relational bridges in our daily lives.
Everyone is Welcome!

King David in the Old Testament demonstrates the danger of autonomy and not being connected in friendship to others. Left to our own devices, we would not experience community with anyone to hold us accountable and to encourage us. David’s autonomy opened the door for significant suffering for him and his kingdom, but God longs for us to experience the power and blessing of being in community.
The Lord is with you!

It’s easy to feel isolated and alone as we go through the challenges of life and fight for the kind of life we hope to have. Gideon didn’t think he had anything to offer God that would help his people experience freedom and relief from military abuse, but God assured Gideon that the LORD was with him. God wants to remind you of the same as you face the battles in your life - you are not isolated, but the LORD is with you!
Mountain-Moving Faith

God's word also teaches that faith isn't just an internal feeling but an external action or way of living. Regardless of the challenges in your life, Jesus comes to bring faith and hope for you!
