Summer 2026 Overview
Connecting with Others Like Jesus Did
Even though we’re living in a post-pandemic world, culture continues to encourage social distancing. More and more stores utilize self-checkout, many restaurants are set up for less interaction with employees, and customer service calls are increasingly automated. Social media interaction is done from a distance and emboldens a lack of civility. But life is meant to be lived in connection with others. Believers are to pursue connection with others, and Jesus gave us the example to follow.

Those truths become evident in our lives as we let them transform us. In Paul’s’ instruction to the church in Corinth, he revealed several ways we are to live out our faith in community with other believers.
