Connection Versus Community | Unfiltered: Week 2

We’ve never been more connected, yet so many of us feel more alone than ever. In Week 2 of UNFILTERED: Following Jesus in a Filtered World, we’re discovering why connection isn’t the same as community and why God created us for more than likes, followers, and surface-level relationships. In John 13:34–35, Jesus shows us that the world will recognize His followers by the way they love one another. You can be connected to everyone and still be close to no one, but you were never meant to do life alone. In this message, Pastor Dave Jackson explores two practical ways to build meaningful relationships: Be Present and Be Engaged. Discover how showing up, listening well, and loving people the way Jesus loves us can transform our relationships and help us grow in faith. Whether you’re longing for deeper friendships, looking for a place to belong, or ready to take your next step with Jesus, there’s a place for you in Christian community. At Rise Church, we believe you were created to be known, loved, and encouraged as you grow in Christ. Don’t just stay connected. Find community, take a step, and experience life together! 📍 Join us Sundays at 10:30AM at Asheville Middle School ⛪ Learn more or plan your visit: https://risechurch.tv #Unfiltered #ConnectionVsCommunity #RiseChurchAVL #ChristianCommunity #FollowJesus #Sermon #ChurchOnline #Faith #Jesus #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianLiving #MeaningfulRelationships #YouAreNotAlone #CommunityMatters #AshevilleChurch
