The Foundation of the Church Is Friendship?

The church is relational. It is a space of deep affection and love. Did you know this is how God exists? The Father loves the Son and the Son loves the Father, and the Spirit flows forth in grace and peace from them to us! It's so easy to forget this, but the early church in Thessalonians 1 was defined by strange friendships. And to make it even weirder, these relationships of deep connection and love looked a lot like God Himself. This Sunday we kick off our Thessalonians series by exploring how beautifully relational God is and how we are made to exist just like Him.
