Holy rebels are willing to take the risk of relationships. In the final week of the Holy Rebellion series, Pastor Charles reminded us of our need for community. While relationships come with beauty and brokenness, there is nothing like having friends who will pull you, protect you and pour into you. We are created with the purpose and the power to stand up and stand out for PEOPLE. We pray that this message sparks you to pray that God sends you the friends that align with your purpose.
