Authentic Relationships

Pastor Bill Bush · Jul 2, 2018

Pastor Bill argues that biblical community is not optional but mission-critical for every follower of Jesus. Drawing on Philippians 1 and Galatians 6, he contends that the enemy thrives when Christians stand alone, and that the church only becomes the unstoppable force God intends when believers intertwine their lives — like redwood roots — around four essentials: being known, accepted, supported, and developed. False community (social media, parasocial relationships, hyper-individualism) drains us without delivering what we truly need, and only physically present, honest, whole-cookie community can get us where God wants us to go.
