The power of community and connection is essential in the Christian walk. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the example of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to illustrate how individual greatness can only go so far without a team. Drawing from Acts 2, he emphasizes the importance of spiritual fellowship, life groups, and being planted in a church family to experience growth, support, and transformation.
