Faith is deeply personal, but it was never meant to be walked alone. Jesus modeled togetherness throughout His ministry, inviting disciples to journey with Him and share in God’s mission. When we embrace community, we experience faith that is not only stronger but also richer and more meaningful. Here’s how togetherness can transform your spiritual life.
1. Shared Strength in Life’s Battles
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us that two are better than one because they can help each other succeed. When we walk alongside others in faith, we gain the support, prayers, and encouragement we need to face difficult moments. A community rooted in Jesus becomes a safe place to share struggles and celebrate victories.
2. Encouragement to Keep Growing
Spiritual growth often requires accountability. In Hebrews 10:24-25, we are urged to spur one another on toward love and good deeds and not give up meeting together. Being part of a small group or ministry offers consistent opportunities to learn, share, and grow with others who are also pursuing Jesus. Together, we can keep each other focused on God’s Word and His promises.
3. Discovering Purpose Through Service
Jesus demonstrated that faith flourishes when we serve others. In community, we discover opportunities to live out our purpose by contributing our time, skills, and resources. At RiverGlen, serving through ministries or initiatives like MOVE creates tangible expressions of love and faith, uniting us as we make a difference in the lives of others.
4. Experiencing God’s Presence in Community
Jesus promised, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). When we come together—whether in worship, prayer, or small groups—His presence is uniquely felt. Through togetherness, we not only experience God’s love more deeply but also reflect it to those around us.
5. Building a Lasting Legacy of Faith
Togetherness doesn’t just benefit us; it impacts future generations. Sharing your faith journey with family, friends, and your church community models a life centered on Jesus. It shows others the beauty of living in unity and invites them to do the same.
How to Start
Building togetherness begins with a step. Join a group, attend a Welcome Brunch, or explore ministries like Alpha and Rooted at RiverGlen. These environments are designed to help you connect with others and deepen your relationship with God.
Together, we’re stronger. Together, we reflect the love of Jesus. Together, we grow in faith. Let’s embrace the gift of community and experience how it strengthens our walk with Christ.
