The loneliness epidemic is sweeping across our nation at statistically alarming rates, and this modern day trend is in incredible contrast to the divine, biblical design that calls us to vibrant fellowship and love for our fellow man. The Apostle Paul demonstrates in Philippians that Christians are called to be radically different, yearning to be with each other, having affection toward your brothers and sisters in Christ, and sacrificing together for the sake of the gospel. Pastor John's powerful message today recalls the true "happy few", the Christian martyrs who have joyfully counted death as a worthy sacrifice to spread the gospel, singing songs of praise and showing joy at the guillotine scaffold. He outlines a plan to combat the alienation problems of our current culture, and it starts with knowing the founder of this movement we call Christianity, Jesus Christ. Listen now as he encourages us to cut the weight of sin and complacency, live joyfully for eternal purpose, and set free the Holy Spirit to run rampant in the hearts of His people.
