There is a tension between two ideals central in shaping human history and still at work today: community and freedom. But these two don't coexist easily. We place a high value on individuality and self-reliance, but we can't escape our fundamental need for community. In this sermon, we examine this tension and where we are called to live within it.
The Grove Church is a neighborhood church located in Dallas, TX. We love the imagery of coming together as a community and being the group of 'fruit-bearing trees' that Jeremiah writes about in the Old Testament (see Jeremiah 17:7-8). Our vision for The Grove is to become a church that lives out its faith in tangible ways, intentionally creating environments that gather people together, grow them closer to God, and give back to our neighbors. This podcast is our audio versions of live sermons preached every Sunday online and in-person.
