This week on Beyond Sunday, Josh Hensley is joined by Steve Buttram, Cliff Hines, and special guest Chase Duncan—our newest intern at New Work. The team kicks things off with a challenging (and occasionally uncomfortable) round of “Over It or Into It,” exploring everyday habits that can become idols—like binge-watching TV on Sabbath, obsessing over gear, or reading Christian books more than the Bible. Their honest, often funny, and sometimes convicting responses set the stage for a deeper dive into Sunday's sermon on Romans 1.   The heart of the conversation centers on the tension between truth and love. They unpack Michael Shearon's message about how God's anger is righteous, how idolatry breeds immorality, and how God will eventually give us over to what we worship.

Message Us!The radical claim that genuine Christians will be actively involved in a local church isn't just provocative—it's biblically sound. While saving faith comes through Christ alone, transformed hearts inevitably seek Christian community. This message builds a comprehensive biblical case for why church participation matters.Scripture reveals church involvement as more than optional—it's a consistent pattern throughout the New Testament, an unwavering assumption in the apostles' writings, and even an explicit command in passages like Hebrews 10:24-25. The early believers didn't just casually attend gatherings when convenient; they devoted themselves to fellowship, prayer, and breaking bread together.But church participation isn't merely an obligation—it's a profound gift of grace. When imprisoned by the Nazis, theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote longingly about the "incomparable joy" of being with other Christians, something many take for granted. The local church provides essential spiritual benefits: encouragement when we're downcast, comfort during suffering, equipping for ministry, and accountability to keep us from drifting.The dangers of neglecting church are severe. Isolation makes us vulnerable to sin's deception and can eventually lead to apostasy. Our hearts rationalize disobedience when no one challenges our thinking. Additionally, genuine love for other believers—demonstrated through committed church involvement—serves as evidence of authentic faith according to 1 John 3:14.Church isn't merely about attending services but participating with your whole self. Don't just go to church—be the church by using your gifts, lifting your voice in worship, and investing in relationships. Make Sunday gatherings a priority, join a small group, and consider covenant membership to fully experience what God designed His people to be: a family bound together by Christ's love.What spiritual growth might you be missing by keeping the church at arm's length? How might God use you to strengthen others through committed participation in your local congregation?Support the show
