Welcome to today's weekly Zoom call with Kenny Russell from Scotland.Message Releasing The Normal Into The SupernaturalI hope you will consider joining us each Sunday as we make time for prayer and fellowship and connecting with others.

Good ideas have good consequences. God's ideas that He's generously revealed to us through His word, when implemented, bring about healing, growth, and flourishing. Randall Hoag, president of Vision of Community Fellowship and Food for the Hungry International Federation, shares with us about his years of experience watching the transformative power of biblical worldview ideas being applied around the world. On this podcast, we've talked a lot about the power of good ideas on a theoretical level, but today we hear about how they actually work and will change lives and communities. Listen now and hear about how God used an impoverished farm that faithfully applied a biblical worldview to eventually transform an entire country. Episode Landing PageDisciple Nations Alliance Website

Community is something we all look for. But, we can't settle for Community only. Community should always lead to Fellowship. Fellowship is the deeper place God calls us to. In this message we look at the importance of been a person of Fellowship, rather than Community.

The best decision in your life is often made when you just go for it. Not everything has to be calculated and thought of thoroughly. Sometimes, you just have to take a shot and trust how things will play out. That's what Sunshine Bakery owner Kyle Bloom believes in.

He shares how they started with the sunshine bakery and how it brought a ray of light to their community in Oakley.

Self intro for Virtual Reality Faith

Passage: Acts 2:37-47 Rooted in Christ: A Year of Christ-Centered Growth This series is a revisit of the main pillars of the Christian Life. For a life to grow and flourish it needs to be rooted in good soil. We want to see our community deeply rooted in their Love for Jesus as they live out that love to the world around them.

Passage: Romans 12:9-21 Rooted in Christ: A Year of Christ-Centered Growth This series is a revisit of the main pillars of the Christian Life. For a life to grow and flourish it needs to be rooted in good soil. We want to see our community deeply rooted in their Love for Jesus as they live out that love to the world around them.

In this episode, we are joined by a very special guest, Debbie Olariu, as she talks about the importance of community and Godly fellowship. Coming from an American background, she became apart of the Romanian church after getting married, and will be sharing with us the process of stepping into a new culture and finding a new community. So join us as we hear her testimony, chat about what attributes to look for in a strong community, whether or not everyone needs fellowship, how having a community of people who love her has blessed her this far, and much more!Our Instagram page: @daringfaithpodcast

In this message, Bernie explores community, fellowship and mission within the household of God. We need to understand that fellowship and mission are twin pillars of the church, for without a meaningful Christ-centred mission, there can be no true and lasting fellowship. The Great Commission which God gave all of us, is the foundation for purposeful fellowship in Christ.

Faith In Practice is a brand new series where we explore day to day practices and disciplines to help us grow out faith with Jesus. This week Connections Ministries Pastor Matt Prifogle looks at community and how we're Better Together We'd love to connect with you! Visit us at www.revolutioncc.org or text us at 574-498-2233

Without Bard Prison Initiative, Stacy Burnett says she would have “rotted in a prison cell.” My guest today is Stacy Burnett, who got her college degree in her forties while she was in prison. Stacy was part of the groundbreaking program BPI, or Bard Prison Initiative, which was featured in the acclaimed documentary, College Behind Bars. The program enrolls hundreds of incarcerated students full-time in college programs. When these students graduate, they cross that stage with a real degree from Bard College in their hands. Stacy has worked for years as a writer and now works for College & Community Fellowship in New York, where she helps criminal justice-impacted women get into college. In the episode, she shares the life-altering impact of a higher education—and who's worthy of it, the criminalization of mental health issues especially for women, and the grief of being a mother behind bars.

By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire. (Nehemiah 2:13)   Sunday evening, our high school youth gathered for a (socially-distanced) campfire to worship and talk about Spiritual Disciplines—on this particular night: the discipline of gratitude (click or tap here to learn more about this spiritual discipline!). We started that Spiritual Discipline conversation by recognizing that the methods of being formed in the Christian faith that we've long relied on, like Sunday worship, are not quite as reliable as they once were.  Some might even say they've been broken down. Just think of all the spiritual disciplines we practiced together in worship as a Christian community pre-COVID-19: Prayer, Scripture Reading, Giving, Confession, Gratitude, Song, Community/Fellowship, Silence, etc.  This weekly practice of all these disciplines in worship forms us in the Christian life and in Christian character over the years, it really does!  Worship is not only something we offer to God, it's also one of the means through which God forms Christ in us!  But now, this central practice of Sunday worship which once carried so much of the freight of our Christian discipleship has broken down.  Not completely of course.  We worship, we really do.  But it's also not quite what it was.  And while technology is a good stand in, some things (like the support, encouragement, and accountability of Christian community) simply cannot be digitally mediated forever. As the practice of Sunday worship has weakened in our communal life therefore, and all these weekly reinforcements of the Spiritual Disciplines with it, so have our “defences” against our “old enemies” that Pastor Michael mentioned yesterday: namely, the world, the flesh, and the devil.  The World: we get busy and distracted with all the other pressing demands of work, school, life in a pandemic, and the ever-urgent notifications on our devices and eventually we start to slide away from worship and Christian practice—slowly.  Never all at once.  But, bit by bit, Sundays easily get filled with all the other things that have always been vying for our attention and adoration.  The Flesh: we sleep in on Sundays, don't feel like doing worship, or just plumb forget to engage in worship and the other Christian practices.  Discipleship is hard.  Lots of other things are easier. The Devil: as C.S. Lewis reminds us in the Screwtape Letters, there are indeed forces at work in this world that give aid to the seemingly benign churn of our fleshly lives and our world's pressures, helping them to erode our Christian practice with the relentless force of waves that pound the shore. Perhaps it's time to take a silent walk with God to go out and “examine the defences,” as Nehemiah did.  Are the “walls” of Christian habit and discipline broken down in your life?  Have the gates to your heart and mind that put a conscious check on what gets in and what comes out been burned up?  The restoration of our spiritual practices starts at just that same place that Nehemiah started his restoration of Jerusalem's defences.  First, we have to take honest stock of where we're at, what we've lost, and what we're up against.  Take time to examine just those things in your life today.  What spiritual habits and practices have been lost or broken down in your life since the beginning of this pandemic?  Take stock, and bring it to God in prayer.  

Based on Luke's description of the earliest Christian communities as detailed in Acts 2:42-47, this sermon looks at those groups in their context and seeks to take from them encouragement for faithfully living in a season of "Christian diaspora".

Message from Pastor David Dean on 04/05/2020

Spiritual disciplines don’t come naturally. They can be difficult; they can feel mundane; they get tossed aside easily. What if it’s because you’ve forgotten that they aren’t so much about doing as they are about being? What if it’s because you’ve forgotten that they aren’t about what you know but who you know? What if you’ve exchanged the practice of presence for the practice of production? No, spiritual disciplines do not come naturally; that’s because they are meant to come supernaturally.

Wow, please have a Kleenex ready for this one.  Turquoise Martin and Naquasia Pollard are two women on fire, but, who have also survived the fire.  Both are a part of the College and Community Fellowship advocacy training program.  Naquasia served a 15 years sentence starting at the age of 19, and Turquoise was in and out of the foster care system since the age of five.  There is so much hope in these two ladies, and we hope you pay more than the usual attention to the girls and women in your circle.   Production credit: Andrew Stelzer   More info about this episode: Women Influencing Systems and History (WISH) Naquasia Pollard: Finely Distilled Storytelling Twitter: @decarceratedpod @naquasiapollard @ccf_ny Instagram: @decarceratedpodcast @quasia_secondchances @ccf_ny  

Audio from The Community Fellowship service from April 26th, 2019.

In this episode we are talking everything from Sunday School to Gang life as we break down the hunger for family and community.

College & Community Fellowship eliminates individual, social, and structural barriers to higher education, civic participation, and economic security for women with criminal convictions and their families. CCF envelops women in support services that help them re-build their sense of self-worth and develop leadership skills while they complete their higher education. Melanie Steinhardt is their Director of Development & Communications.

On this episode, David Prxnce preaches a sermon at Community Fellowship in Nashville,TN entitled, "Stop the Insanity." If you don't like the results that you've been getting, don't keep doing the same thing. That's insanity! Stop the insanity and do something different.

On this episode, David Prxnce preaches a sermon at Community Fellowship in Nashville,TN about failing forward. So many times, we give up after failing because it seems like a step backwards. But failure is not a step backwards. It's a step forward if you choose not to give up.

Series: N/ASpeaker: Stan Richey Title: Making your focus making disciples Key Passage: Matthew 28:16-20 Other passages: N/A Description: 'What is it that the church should be doing?' That question elicits many responses. Some of the of the common ones would be: Community/Fellowship, Spiritual growth/Teaching, Worship/Praising God. All of these have a strong Biblical basis and should characterize every local church. What we need to understand is that the mission that flows from our community (fellowship) of growing, maturing, worshiping believers is our involvement in God's overarching divine plan to redeem a lost world.

In this episode Vivian Nixon speaks about her experiences with substance misuse, to being a leader amongst men, to hanging out with Michelle Obama and Oprah. Vivian Nixon is Executive Director of College and Community Fellowship, an organization committed to removing barriers to higher education for women with criminal record histories and their families.
