     | 820 views

    In a world of isolation and shallow connection, true belonging is found not through status, performance, or digital affirmation, but through surrendering to Jesus Christ, being born again by the Spirit, and embraced as a beloved child of God, forever known, loved, and secured by the Father.

    Belonging to God in a Broken World Matthew 19:16-26; John 3:1-18, 17:1-11 "In an age of constant connection, we’ve never been more relationally malnourished—because our hearts were made for more than clicks; they were made for communion" There was a time when a person’s identity, ...read more
