"Vision For Connection" - Mike Ashcraft | CONNECTION, Part 1

Created in the image of a relational God, the desire for relational connections is wired into our DNA. Unfortunately, we often resist this depth of connection out of a fear of rejection and of what authentic connection may require of us. Yet, the collective reach of our church begins with the health of our connections, displayed in a willingness to include, to avail ourselves to others, and to allow our relationships to form and shape us into the people God is calling us to be. The implications of the Gospel are both personal and corporate. God's work isn't just about your life being changed, but life exchange with one another. Connection is to exchange life with another as we trust enough to live safely within the care of our community. It is the first step in the reconciliation we long for.
