Community is more than a crowd. It’s more than a large gathering. Community is family.
In this message, “Hell Hates Small,” we walk through Acts 2 and Acts 5 to see that the early church didn’t just grow in public spaces, but from house to house—around tables, in shared meals, prayer, teaching, and everyday life together. It also confronts why we often resist that kind of closeness. Small community can feel risky, exposing our struggles and calling us to forgive and bear one another’s burdens—yet Scripture shows that this is exactly where healing, growth, and true discipleship take root.
In this sermon, you’ll hear about:
Why we run from close community
How God designed us for family, not a fanbase
Where confession, forgiveness, and healing truly happen
What it means to lay our lives down in love for one another
This message challenges us to step out of isolation and into intentional, vulnerable community—and asks a searching question: Will we choose comfort and anonymity, or will we choose the kind of closeness that forms us into the likeness of Christ?
Because hell hates small.
And small is where disciples are made.
