Refueled Through Relationship - Day 2 of 5

Five-day devotional based on the message, "Refueled Through Relationship" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on August 17, 2025. Click here to watch the message.

Devotional
To belong to one another is to embrace the interconnectedness that God has designed for His people. The Church is Christ's body, where each part plays a vital role and is essential to the whole. In this interconnectedness, we find strength and unity in Him. Living as if we belong to each other requires us to see beyond our individuality and recognize that we are part of something greater. When we embrace this belonging, we contribute to a vibrant, thriving community where everyone is valued and cherished, by God and by the rest of the body. This sense of belonging not only refuels us but also allows us to be a source of strength and encouragement to others.

Bible Verse
“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.” —Romans 12:4–5

Sermon Quote
"We are like Pando—the world’s largest living organism. Many parts of one body, but we all belong to each other."

Reflection Question
In what ways can I actively participate in my community to demonstrate that we belong to each other? (If you are not in community, The Harbor has many ways for you to take that next step on our website. Start with the Small Groups page and the Events page.)

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for placing me in a community where I belong. Help me to live with the understanding that I am a vital part of Your body. May I contribute to the well-being of others with love and kindness. Teach me to cherish and support my brothers and sisters in Christ, as we journey together in faith. Amen.
