week 1: community

“therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus— he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh)— and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. and let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.” – hebrews 10:19-25

community here is honestly a taste of heaven on earth. to have so many different people coming together, all for the purpose of humbling themselves and glorifying Him, is a glimpse of what true community is. how God designed it to be. after one week with this squad, i truly believe that we were each divinely placed here for a purpose. so excited to invite you in to see moments from not only this week, but the next 9 months with these beautiful people.
