Faith That Feels Real: Part 3 - Finding God in Communityنموونە

Faith isn’t meant to be lived in isolation. Hebrews 10 reminds us: “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together… but encouraging one another.”

Growth happens when Jesus is at the center—and when we’re surrounded by people who stir us up. Just like oil and vinegar need to be shaken to bring out their full flavor, we need community to shake us out of weariness and remind us of who God is.

Sometimes that stirring looks like encouragement; other times it looks like challenge. Both are gifts. When brothers and sisters in Christ inspire us with their faith—or lovingly redirect us from harmful paths—we’re shaped more into the image of Jesus.

You were never meant to walk alone. Jesus plus people equals growth.

Reflect & Apply:

• Who has stirred up your faith by sharing what God is doing in their life?
• How has encouragement from another believer helped you keep going?
• Where might you need to invite someone to lovingly challenge you right now?
