God said that his church—brothers and sisters in Christ—were to live in community with one another. Intellectually, we understand that God created us to exist in relationship. Genesis 2:18 says, “It is not good for the man to be alone.” In Matthew 22:39, Jesus commands us to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” However, our intellectual acceptance of this Truth doesn’t always translate into our lives. If you want to experience the joy and comfort of intimate relationships with others, the kind of relationships God created us to have, then join us and “Get Found.”
