Who do you know?

One of my biggest challenges in leading a growing church is get people connected. First and foremost, we want people connected with their Creator God and the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we want people to connect to other people.

The only way to grow in our faith and have an opportunity to build real, meaningful community is to interact and build relationships together. This is huge. All the programs and “stuff” in the world won’t replace these things. If there are not meaningful relationships being build with other families and new friends it will all fall apart and get stagnant.

So, I ask you, who do you know? I mean, who at Life Church Franklin do really know outside of you and your family? Have you taken time to meet and introduce yourself to others? Have you invited someone over for dinner? Meet someone for lunch? Taken other families to the park together?

At LCF we strive to create atmospheres (worship experiences and Life Groups) where people can worship, laugh, cry and learn together in corporate and small group settings, but this only goes so far. We all need intimate relationships with other believers. But for that to happen you have to do something about it. You have to introduce yourself to someone. Take time to meet for lunch or dinner. Make that phone call to set up a walk on the Greenway.

If your already do this, great! If you’re not, I encourage to start this week!
