We are designed for connection—with God and with others. Yet, our sinfulness often disrupts the loving community we were created to enjoy. Thankfully, God calls us back into that community through the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus.


In this message, Pastor Derrick explores Genesis 1 and 2, reminding us that we were never meant to navigate life alone. He identifies seven common barriers that hinder our relationships with others:


Pride

Selfishness

Unforgiveness

Fear & Insecurity

Sinful Nature & Fleshly Desires

Prejudice & Judgment

Lack of Love


Which of these challenges resonate most with you? How can you invite God to heal and transform those areas in your life?
