Season 1, Episode 5: We Need Connection: It Helps us to Persevere (Podcast)

September 8, 2023 • Ann Swenson, Stacey Pinz • Genesis 2:18, Ecclesiastes 4:10, 1 Corinthians 12:21, 1 Corinthians 14:26, Hebrews 10:24–25

We are not alone. We are not alone in our sorrow, and we are not alone when we have something to celebrate. When we have fellowship with other believers in worship, we know we are not alone in the world. God gave us the gift of fellowship so that we know we are never alone. As we read and study our Bibles together, participate in various studies, and pray with and for one another, we grow in our faith while we are in fellowship while we hold one another accountable for developing positive spiritual habits. When we come together with others, we are able to learn, to grow, and to persevere in our faith together. God created us to worship Him together! We can share stories about His goodness as we gather together!
