Summary
Are you lonely? Do you go places, perhaps even church, and feel like you just don’t fit in? In this message, Chip shares how you can begin to develop authentic, Godly relationships that can last a lifetime.
Main Points
Why are there so many people desperately hurting and in need of love, and so many others who are so willing and wanting to give love, yet so few who actually get loved? What's the missing link?- 6 Key Words: You are memebers of one another.
- Thesis: To fulfill Jesus’ command to love one another, as He loved us demands that we understand our membership and function in “HIS SUPERNATURAL COMMUNITY.”
- It has a supernatural origin. --Acts 1:1-3
- It has a supernatural agenda. --Acts 1:4-7
- It has a supernatural power. --Acts 1:8
- Possessing an accurate view of ourselves. --Romans 12:3
- Key word = Vulnerability
- Nurturing a healthy appreciation of others. --Romans 12:4-5a
- Key word = Thankfulness
- Practicing a loyal allegiance to one another. --Romans 12:5b
- Key word = Commitment
- No individual Christian can function effectively by himself/herself.
- No member of the “supernatural community” is more or less important than anyone else.
- We must “get connected” in real life relationships if we are to experience the reality that “we are members of one another.”

| 0:00.0 | Do you feel lonely? Are you isolated? Do you go places and feel like you just don't fit in? Does that even happen to you in the church? Well, today we're going to learn it doesn't have to stay that way any longer. That's our topic today. |
| 0:17.8 | Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. |
| 0:21.6 | Our mission is to inspire Christians to be genuine followers of Jesus, |
| 0:25.6 | and to empower them to be active disciple makers in our world. |
| 0:29.6 | And let me ask, were you nodding along to what Chip just said? |
| 0:32.6 | Would you consider yourself a loner? |
| 0:34.6 | Almost like, no matter the social situation, you're always on the outside looking in? |
| 0:40.5 | Well, Chip has a heartfelt word for those who feel that way as he continues his series, |
| 0:45.0 | Love One Another. |

| 1:34.3 | And I think we have a pool of resources and gift and willingness and love that is overwhelming. |
| 1:41.3 | But I think there's a missing link. I think a lot of people with needs, and you may be one of them, |
| 1:47.6 | don't really get loved or get loved at the level that you need it, because somehow there's a |
| 1:53.5 | missing link. And what I want to talk about this morning is the missing link so that real love can occur. |
| 2:02.7 | You ask, well, you know, what's the missing link? |
| 2:04.5 | I think the missing link is six words. |
| 2:07.5 | And at first you'll say, what? |
| 2:09.1 | But bear with me. |
