What does it really mean to be a community of faith?

In this episode of Around the Table, Levi explores the connection between community, covenant, faith, and surrender. Looking at Paul’s words to the church in Ephesus and God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, he challenges the idea that faithfulness is something we manufacture through our own effort. Instead, our faith rests first on the faithfulness of God.

Faith is more than believing the right things. It is learning to trust God enough to surrender to what He is doing, and community means we don’t have to walk that journey alone. We are called to know the promises God has placed on one another, remind each other of what He has said, pray and believe together, share testimonies, meet practical needs, and help carry one another when faith feels weak.

Through Scripture and a personal story of learning to let others into his own journey of faith, Levi reminds us that following Jesus was never meant to be an isolated experience. A true community of faith is a people learning to trust God together, surrender together, and steward what He is doing in each other’s lives.

Pull up a chair and join us around the table as we ask what it looks like to become a people who don’t just believe in Jesus individually, but faithfully follow Him together.
