Summary

Over the past five weeks, Pastor Andy and Stacy shared what it means to get Back on Track with God’s design for our faith, health, finances, relationships, and work. But how do we stay on track when life gets tough? This past weekend, Pastor Andy shared the answer: community. Pastor Andy reminded us that God has given us three powerful gifts to live out his purpose for our lives: his Word, his Spirit, and his Church. We were never meant to follow Jesus in isolation. God created us to live in community, where walking alongside others helps us go further than we ever could on our own. When we look at the early church in the book of Acts, we see how community fueled deep devotion and a growing closeness to God that no one experienced alone. Don’t walk alone. Take your next step into community by joining a small group today at saddleback.com/groups.
