Email. Internet. Video. Texting. Tablets. Smartphones. The list never ends, does it? As technology advances, real human connection becomes harder and harder. If we’re not careful, each new gadget can draw us further away from the family of believers God designed us to be.

If you want to experience a close community with other Christians, this series by Chuck Swindoll will challenge you to escape the trap of superficiality and to develop tight bonds that will feed your soul and mature your spiritual family. Keep your relationships connected…by dropping your guard.

UPCOMING MESSAGES

  • May 29 - May 31 United and Invincible

    The psalmist wrote a chorus of worship that emphasizes the benefits believers experience when they are united in their fellowship. The opening lines read:

  • June 3 - June 5 When the Fellowship Breaks Down

    Friction frays fellowship. Like a tire rubbing against the fender of a car, friction prohibits advancement. It isn’t long before the heat creates greater complications. In God’s family, whenever there is a breakdown in the fellowship, regardless of the reason, it impacts others. We see this vividly portrayed in Joshua 7, one of the least victorious chapters in the book. Even though these times were painful for the Hebrews, they are useful to Christians today. They teach us that we must not be idealistic in the matter of growing closer together.

  • June 6 - June 10 Authentic Love

    What is love? If we were to ask 10 people that question, we would probably get at least 10 different answers. And there are many different kinds of love. We feel affection toward those we admire and who warm our hearts. We love our friends with whom we feel a deep connection. And we feel romantic love toward a spouse. But the highest form of love is charity—the type of devotion that seeks the highest good of another. This love serves unconditionally, regardless the cost. The Bible talks about this kind of sacrificial love in 1 Corinthians 13.

  • June 11 - June 13 Needed: Shelter for Storm Victims

    Although many Christians seem to have perfect lives, we know better! Believers are not only a long way from perfection; we struggle with the battles that plague all humans. Like everyone, we find ourselves in need of shelters—places of refuge where we can heal and be renewed. People without Christ often seek refuge in corner bars where they can meet with friends and forget life’s troubles. But where can Christians turn when we’ve been pushed around, misunderstood, and bruised with adversity? The answer for us today is not unlike the answer for the ancient Hebrews.

  • June 14 - June 18 Some Things Have Gotta Go!

    Meaningful, healthy relationships need the right kind of environment to flourish. Before we can expect to nurture genuine assimilation, some things gotta go! Just as tender plants require special care and the absence of things that assault growth, so do groups of believers who desire to cultivate relationships. Centuries ago, as God led the ancient Hebrews into the Promised Land, He specifically instructed them to clear the territory of the foreign tribes and to rid themselves of the influence of Canaanite civilization. From this example, we can draw an analogy for today.
