Isolation rarely happens all at once. Like poison, it works slowly. In this message, Pastor Todd shares how a season of intentional time with God during the 2020 lockdown quietly turned into isolation, and what it took to find his way out. Walking through Acts 2:42-47, he names three things that pull us away from God and others (fear and failure, mourning, and hurt) and how the early church fought each one together.
Scripture: Acts 2:42-47
Key takeaways
We fight fear and failure with faith. Peter denied Jesus out of fear, but he didn't isolate, and God used him to build His church.
We fight mourning with prayer. Prayer is our lifeline with God, especially when loss makes us want to pull away from Him.
We fight hurt with community. People may have hurt us, but God often uses people to heal us.
From the message
"Isolation doesn't serve you, you serve isolation."
"Today he doesn't wanna fix the problem. He wants to fix us."
