Who's Carrying You? | Find Your People

Life gets heavy. The question is: who’s walking with you through it? In Week 5 of Find Your People, at Poplar Ridge Christian Church, we look at the friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus and are reminded why we all need people who will show up when life gets hard.

Sharing Life | Find Your People

We were never meant to simply attend church—we were meant to share life together. In the story of Zacchaeus in Luke19:1–10, we see how one invitation around a table changed everything. Real community isn’t built through perfect people; it’s built through open homes, honest conversations, and lives that make room for others. If you’re longing for deeper friendships and a place to truly belong, this message will show you how sharing life reflects the heart of Jesus.

Can anyone really know me? | Find Your People

Have you ever wondered, “If people really knew me, would they still love me?” Most of us long for deep relationships, but we’re afraid of being fully known. So we hide behind busy schedules, social media, accomplishments, or the version of ourselves we think others will accept. But what if the very things we’re hiding are the things God wants to heal? In this message from our Find Your People series, we look at the story of Jesus and the leper in Mark 1:40-45 and the call to confession and healing in James 5:16. We’ll discover that Jesus moves toward our brokenness, not away from it, and that real community begins where hiding ends. Big Idea: You can’t experience deep community while hiding the real you. Scripture: * Mark 1:40-45 * James 5:16 If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that they are fully known and fully loved.

What Kind of Friend Are You? | Find Your People

We all want deep friendships and meaningful community, but what if finding your people starts with becoming the kind of person who shows up for others? In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan and challenges us to move beyond convenience, comfort, and proximity into a life of compassion and intentional neighbor-love. This message explores what it means to become the kind of friend who notices people, moves toward them, enters their mess, and stays when it’s difficult. You don’t find your people by accident—you become the kind of person who shows up for people. 📖 Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 📍 Poplar Ridge Christian Church
