All humans share the need to belong. Sociologists define healthy belonging as the convergence of four basic elements: security, authenticity, maturity and mission. The Church ought to be a place where people can find all these elements because Jesus Christ designed His church with healthy belonging at its heart. That’s why “Meaningful Membership and Community” is a core value at Brandywine Valley Baptist Church. This sermon explains why belonging can be such a struggle and how Jesus restores our belonging through a personal, relational God. Listeners are exhorted to invest in biblical community at BVBC.
