A message from the series "The Gathered: A One Another People." (Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:9-16)
When we look at the early church, we see a community that loved each other so genuinely that the surrounding world couldn’t help but take notice. But what happens when loving one another moves past warm feelings into practical, uncomfortable reality? Are we truly honouring others above ourselves, or just going through the motions?
Join us as Iain launches The Gathered series and we begin exploring what a 'One Another' Community begins to look like.

(Romans 12:9-21)
Relationships can be hard at times, rather than being life-giving they can begin to throw out sparks. Yet they are essential for who we are as people. So how are we meant to make sure our relationships operate well?
Paul challenges us in Romans 12 to stop sowing fake love to people and instead, begin truly loving them. He then unpacks what that looks like, including when people don't respond in the same way back.
Relationships are such a huge part of life - We have friendships, family relationships, work colleagues, teammates.... the list goes on.
When they work well these relationships are life-giving and encouraging. Yet sometimes, these same relationships can start to cause friction. What are we meant to do when sparks begin to fly?
