You Don’t Have to Walk with Jesus Alone

Hebrews 10:24–25 — “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another.” —Hebrews 10:24–25 

One of the most common misunderstandings about faith is this:

we assume following Jesus is meant to be just me and God.

Our relationship with Christ is deeply personal, but it was never meant to be private.

All throughout Scripture, God forms a people, not isolated individuals. The early church didn’t simply gather for worship services; they shared meals, prayed together, carried one another’s burdens, and spoke encouragement into each other’s lives. They knew something we often forget:

You can attend church regularly and still feel unknown.

You can believe the right things and still struggle quietly.

You can hear sermons weekly and still not experience lasting change.

Why?

Because information shapes our thinking… but community shapes our hearts.

This is why Journey Groups are such an important part of life at The Ridge.

Ridge Confirmation Class 2026

Kickoff Lunch for families on Sunday, March 1st following the 11:00 service

Do you want to help your student understand and claim their faith? We want to help your family with that, so we're inviting you to be a part of Confirmation this year!

Confirmation is a Christian formation class about understanding and claiming your faith. It's designed especially for middle school students, though older students who have not been through confirmation are also invited to participate. At the end of the process, students will have the opportunity to publicly profess faith in Christ and be either confirmed, rededicated or baptized, depending on their history, as well as joining The Ridge as a full member.

Prayer & Celebration

As a church family, we believe in the power of prayer and the gift of walking alongside one another in every season. We invite you to lift up the following individuals and families in prayer this week:

Annette Hutto

Please keep Annette in your prayers as she receives chemotherapy. We ask the Lord for healing, strength, and endurance throughout her treatments, for minimal side effects, and for peace that surpasses understanding. We also pray for provision, for physical needs, emotional support, and every resource required during this season, and for God’s presence to be felt clearly by Annette and her loved ones.

Gabbie Watson

Please pray for Gabbie as she continues her chemotherapy treatments. We ask the Lord for effective results, minimal side effects, and His comforting, steady presence to surround both Gabbie and her family. We also give thanks for her strength and for God’s faithfulness in every step of this journey.

Marietta Webb

Please continue to keep Marietta in your prayers as she recovers at home following surgery on February 11 for a torn Achilles tendon sustained in a fall. On February 26, she had a cast placed as part of her healing process, and we are grateful for this next step forward. We are thankful the procedure was able to move ahead after earlier concerns with heart irregularities, and we praise God for bringing her safely through surgery. Pray for steady healing and protection from complications, for strength and patience during the recovery process, and for comfort as she adjusts to the limitations of the cast. Ask the Lord to surround Marietta with His peace, to renew her encouragement day by day, and to give her a deep confidence in His presence, timing, and faithful care every step of the way.

Chuck Darling

Please keep Chuck Darling in your prayers as he prepares for a procedure on March 12 in Atlanta. While it is expected to be routine, pray for a successful surgery, a smooth recovery, and for God to grant peace and confidence in the days leading up to it. Pray also that the Lord would strengthen and encourage Chuck, guide the medical team with wisdom and steady hands, and bring renewed health through this procedure. May he rest in the assurance of God’s faithful presence and care each step of the way.



If you have a prayer request or know someone in need of prayer, please email Andy at andy@theridgecolumbus.com. It is our joy and privilege to pray with and for you.
