The Power of Community

Aug 17, 2025    Dr. Shea Shrader

In our journey of faith, we're reminded that Christianity isn't meant to be a solitary experience. The passage from Titus 3:12-15 teaches us the profound importance of community and partnership in ministry. We're called to be encouragers, supporters, and fellow workers in Christ. Just as Paul sent Artemis and Tychicus to support Titus, we too are meant to uplift and refresh one another. This message challenges us to examine our lives: Who are our ministry partners? Who refreshes our spirit? Are we living in isolation or embracing the body of Christ? The HOV lane analogy beautifully illustrates how we move faster through life's obstacles when we journey together with Christ at the wheel. Let's reflect on how we can foster deeper connections within our faith community and support those in ministry, remembering that we're all part of God's family.
