Most of us know what it feels like to want a place where we really fit — where we’re seen, known, and loved, not for what we can prove, but simply for who we are.
In this message, Pastor Alvin Brown talks about how belonging isn’t earned. It isn’t something we hustle for or try to deserve. It’s something God invites us into, especially in the moments when life feels thin, overwhelming, or like we don’t have enough.
Looking at 2 Corinthians 8:1–15, we see a picture of people who lived out belonging in the most unlikely circumstances.
Not from pressure. Not from performance. But from grace — the kind that reminds us we are not alone, and that we were created to be connected to God and to each other.
If you’ve ever wondered where you fit, questioned if you matter, or felt like you’ve come up short, this message is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
