Being connected with today is being connected with people. 

It’s easy to connect with today when it’s all about people.

The heart of God is all about people and His relationship with them. For those of us who are the redeemed it’s all about others – it’s all about people – it’s all about loving God and loving people – it’s all about learning to connect with God and then connecting God with people.

It’s all about people and being generous with your time, your attention (some people are just soooooo busy!) your affirmation, your resources and your faith.

Our mission in life is reach people and to introduce them to Christ and get them connected with His church. Sounds simple but people connect people. I mean how can you win people to Christ when you don’t even know them. We just have to develop relationship and rapport with those around us and stop waiting for the "divine connections."

One of the most integral parts of church and its culture is belonging. People want to belong to something, they want a relationship with God and friends and they want to be part of a great family. They want to be a part of a vision bigger than themselves and work together with others of like mind and purpose.

People need people (sorry Barbara!). People need to belong; people were not meant to be isolated and alone.

God says in His word Psalms 68:6, “God sets the lonely in families” and we are that family. Open up your hearts, Jesus says in Matthew 5, “Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”

Get out more, make more time to connect with others, realise that others are our priority. Connect with people today.
