Summary
Many people today struggle with loneliness. In fact, according to one study, by the year 2020, the second largest health issue facing Americans was depression. We’re living through an epidemic of invisibility and insignificance. In this teaching, Pastor Nate Heitzig opens up Acts 2:44-46 to rediscover that Jesus people belong to each other—that we are called to live life together and to carry each other. Community is what we do because it’s who we are.
I. Jesus People Belong Together
II. Jesus People Carry One Another
III. Jesus People Live Life Together
Talk with God: Meditate on Ecclesiastes 4:12 and thank the Lord for the people He’s placed in your life.
Talk with others: Ask your friends and family how you can pray for them this week.
Talk with kids: Why did Solomon ask for wisdom?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, I got to tell you, I am so excited for our vision for this year, Jesus people, |
| 0:14.7 | which again, this is not vision weekend, but this is really, again, as Matt said, the launch |
| 0:20.2 | of us introducing this idea of what |
| 0:22.5 | Jesus people is all about. And I want to let you know at the core, this vision came from a |
| 0:27.9 | heart for us as a church to go back to basics. Because we found in 2025 the vision of taking |
| 0:33.9 | ground so many new people saying yes to Jesus, getting baptized, getting excited |
| 0:39.2 | about a relationship with Jesus. But the general question is, okay, now that I'm a part of the |
| 0:46.5 | church, what does it look like to be a follower of Jesus? And so really this year is back to |
| 0:53.2 | basics. We're going to be looking at |
| 0:54.5 | four characteristics that are true of all Jesus' people. And these really are four characteristics |
| 1:01.2 | that were true of the early church in Acts 2. That is that they were a learning church. They devoted |
| 1:07.7 | themselves to the study of God's word. They were a connected church, |
| 1:11.8 | living and communing with one another. They were a going church, evangelizing and serving. |
| 1:18.1 | They were a giving church. And so we're going to be looking at all these topics. And these are |
| 1:24.0 | really the basic place of where to start. If you want to know, what does it look like for me to be a Jesus person, for us to be Jesus |
| 1:31.6 | people, this is where to start. |
| 1:35.0 | And I'm excited about Connect Group weekend. |
| 1:37.8 | I want to let you know on the forefront, our goal this weekend would be that coming out |
| 1:42.8 | of this weekend, every single person in our church is involved in a connect group. |
| 1:48.9 | And I also want to let you know that I will never ask you to do something that I am not willing to do myself or that I am not doing myself. |
| 1:56.9 | As a matter of fact, I am in a connect group. My wife and I have been in a connect group with some of the people that were here on stage tonight. |
| 2:03.5 | And I can honestly tell you it has changed our marriage. It has changed the way we parent. |
