When we think about being spiritual, we usually think about being alone. We think of someone in the dessert meditating, in total silence and isolation. And so we think of our own "spirituality" being dependent on us being alone, away from the distractions of other people.
While there is certainly a value on reflection and solitude in the Bible (Jesus Himself practiced it), Christian spirituality is not something that is primarily practiced in private. Instead, the Holy Spirit is always leading us toward one another, in renewed and transformed relationships.
This Sunday we will walk through a passage in Galatians in which the Apostle Paul paints of picture of what it looks like when we keep in step with the Holy Spirit as He leads us into transformed relationships with one another.
