In a world where digital connection is easier than ever, do we still need face-to-face relationships? With the rise of AI companions and virtual interactions, it’s tempting to believe that screens can replace human presence. But from the very beginning, God designed us for something deeper.
In this message, part of our 'A Vibrant Community' series, we explore why physical presence matters - why Jesus Himself became flesh and lived among us (John 1:14), why Paul longed to visit and encourage the churches in person (Romans 1:11-12), and why John desired face-to-face connection so that joy could be complete (2 John 1:12).
Join us as we uncover four powerful reasons why meeting together isn’t just important, it’s essential for our spiritual growth and joy. Let’s move beyond pixels and step into the fullness of life-giving community.
