You were never meant to do life alone. In this message, Pastor Vinny Costa asks a simple but piercing question: if you were the one on the mat, who would carry you to Jesus?

Better Together looks at three biblical truths about why we need each other: belonging is part of God's plan, relationships are one of God's tools for transformation, and our strength is meant to become someone else's support. Using the story of the four friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus in Mark 2, Pastor Vinny shows what it looks like to know someone's burden, share the weight, and carry people toward Jesus instead of toward ourselves. This message also marks the relaunch of our Growth Groups and introduces the BLESS app, a simple way to start praying for your neighbors as we build toward Friend Day on August 30.
