Ever since He rose from the dead, the message of Jesus Christ has “circulated rapidly” throughout the ages of time. Jesus is, and will always be, trending because He is the ultimate Trendsetter.

Summary - Today was the first lesson in a four-part series called Gone Viral: Jesus is Always Trending.

Today we learned about the origin, importance, and benefits of Christian community.

Ever since the beginning, God designed us for fellowship with others. Christian friends bless us with spiritual encouragement, accountability, and they help us grow in our love for Christ.
