Choose Community

This week’s message highlights one of Pastor Shawn’s favorite scriptures, Ephesians 4:1–6—a beautiful and practical framework for Christian community. In it, Paul urges the early church to live lives worthy of their calling by embodying humility, gentleness, patience, and love. These values aren’t abstract—they are how we “make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit.”

The sermon draws connections between Ephesians 4 and John 17, where Jesus prays for the unity of His followers—not just for the original disciples, but for us. This unity is more than a goal—it’s a gift and a responsibility. Community isn’t always easy, but it’s essential for spiritual growth. We are invited to not only attend church, but to be the church—together.
