It’s Up to Us | A Place to Belong 2025
Loneliness is not just a FEELING to avoid. It’s a SIGNAL to respond to.
‘A Place to Belong’
A community of people who KNOW who we really are, and who ACCEPT us for who we really are. But who LOVE us far too much to just LEAVE us the way that we are.
Genesis 1:1 pg. 1
v.1 “In the BEGINNING, GOD created the heavens and the earth.”
In the Creation story we find this pattern:
‘God said, Let there be….and God saw that it was GOOD’
v.26 “Then God said, let US make humanity in OUR image, in OUR likeness…”
2 v.18 “The Lord God said, it is NOT good for the MAN to be ALONE.”
v.20 “But for Adam, no SUITABLE HELPER was found.”
‘Ezer Kenegdo’
- Ezer: ‘strong partner, rescuer’
- Kenegdo: ‘compliment, counterpart’
v.22 “The Lord God FASHIONED a woman…”
FAMILY becomes the original model for the community that we need.
“God SETS the lonely in FAMILIES.” (Psalm 68:6)
EFFICIENT relationships are rarely SUFFICIENT.
