WE ARE THE CHURCHLetting Go of Loneliness

Speaker: Dustin Wagner

34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”John 13:34-35
  • You have needs in your life and no one to meet them.
  • You have hurts to share and no one to listen to them.
  • You have love to give and no one to receive it.
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.Genesis 1:1 NIV 18The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”Genesis 2:18 NIV 22Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. 23“At last!” the man exclaimed...Genesis 2:22-23 NLT 26Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,Genesis 1:26 NIV 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people...Acts 2:46-47 NIV
  • God didn’t create us because He was lonely.
  • God created us because He is love.
  • The first-century believers desperately needed each other, and they knew it.
  • Believers today desperately need each other, and they have forgotten it.

People are intentionally pursuing a life that destroys their mental health and robs them of real joy and lasting fulfillment.
