Why Do I Need Community? | 12Stone Church

Why Do I Need Community? In this message, we unpack why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone and why spiritual community is essential to living in holy obedience. God uses His Word, His Spirit, and His people to shape us into who He has called us to be. Community gives us people who will walk with us, tell us the truth, pray for us, encourage us, and have the hard conversations that help us grow. You’ll learn how to: • Understand why you weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone • See the importance of spiritual community • Experience the freedom that comes through confession and prayer • Recognize the danger of isolation and secrecy • Take a step toward finding a group and doing life with others James 5:16 reminds us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed. God designed His people to live in community, because there are parts of our spiritual lives that were never meant to be carried alone. Following Jesus isn’t just about sitting in rows on Sunday. We need people around us who will help us pursue Jesus throughout the week. Sometimes breakthrough begins when we step out of isolation and into community.
