Why Do I Need a Church Community?

From YouTube

Description

You need a church community because God made you in his image and made you to belong; from the beginning God said it is not good for us to be alone. Watching sermons online can teach you, but the Acts 2 church was powerful because people shared life: the word, fellowship, generosity, joyful worship and inviting others in. You can have a full calendar, a phone full of contacts and still have nobody to call. Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto says the myth that you can ghost anybody and do it alone was never God's design. This message is for anyone who has been told to leave their story at the door. For anyone who watches church online and wonders if that's enough. For anyone surviving something they can't even talk about.
