In the first week of our series, we delve into the significance of fostering meaningful relationships. In an age where our society and global community are progressively leaning towards individualism and isolation, a concerning issue is emerging – the prevalence of loneliness at alarming levels. Remarkably, throughout the entire spectrum of creation and history, one thing stands out as ‘not good’ according to God – human solitude. God’s response to this is the establishment of community for humanity. Through Jesus’ establishment of the church, he provides a sanctuary where we can rediscover the value of genuine connections and relationships.”
