We Are the Church
Week 3: Letting Go of Loneliness
Pastor Trevor Sudheimer | In We Are the Church
You have needs in your life and no one to meet them.
You have hurts to share and no one to listen to them.
You have love to give and no one to receive it.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIV
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” Genesis 2:18 NLT
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. “At last!” the man exclaimed. ... Genesis 2:22-23 NLT
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness ...” Genesis 1:26 NIV
God didn’t create us because He was lonely.
God created us because He is love.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. ... Acts 2:46-47 NIV
The first-century believers desperately needed each other, and they knew it.
Believers today desperately need each other, and they have forgotten it.
People are intentionally pursuing a life that destroys their mental health and robs them of real joy and lasting fulfillment.
