Connected to Everyone. Known by No One. | Pastor Scott Venable

You know more about people than any generation in history. Their vacations. Their opinions. Their breakfast. So why do so many people still feel completely alone? This message explores the gap between being connected and actually being known. It challenges the idea that faith is something we’re meant to carry by ourselves and reveals why isolation is costing us more than we realize. Reflection Questions: • Who really knows what’s happening in your life right now? • What burden are you carrying alone? • Is there someone you need to forgive? • Who has encouraged you recently? • What would change if you stopped trying to do life by yourself?
