In this podcast, J. Warner Wallace examines the nature of the First-Century Church in an effort to identify essential characteristics of Christian Community. Are there any over-arching principles that God has given us to help us live as a community of God?

This last week in our Staff Meeting, I said some things out loud. And they weren't horribly critical. I think that they were just funny observations (at least in MY mind). And the staff basically told me how awkward it was to hear them. I told them that's what popped into my mind. And that's when Ethan said, they pop into our minds, too, Trey - but those tend to be INTERNAL conversations with us!

I am writing this week's devotional from India, and as I've been observing their church services and Christian lifestyles, a thought has popped into my mind that I hope you find encouraging. As we journey together through the book of Acts, we often are focusing on the opposition that Paul and apostles and any other servants of the Lord encountered in sharing the gospel. We read about the sacrifices of time and the almost non-existence of personal comfort that was made by them in order to reach the lost and minister to the church.But I wonder if in our focus on those servants, we have overlooked the radical lifestyle and devotion to Jesus Christ that was being made by the “laypeople” within the local churches. Whatever opposition the leaders faced, these dear saints would be facing long after the apostles and others left town. It was through the sacrificial financial support of these saints that enabled the apostles to travel and spread the gospel and edify their brothers and sisters in other areas.We know from today's Scriptures that they made it a priority to meet for teaching and fellowship on the first day of the week, and that they usually met in the evenings because they worked long hours during the day. And at least one of those church services was pretty lengthy, which also was not uncommon in those days. Bear in mind that they did not meet in a comfortable, Western style church building with AC for the summer and heat for the winter. The parents and children would all sit together under the teaching of the Word and worship. Acts 2:41-47 was the pattern of lifestyle that was adopted by each local church. What would happen each person who calls KF their home church would adopt a Acts 2:41-47 pattern of commitment to Jesus Christ and one another? How radical would that be? Just thinking and praying that we would be a Spirit filled, Godward focused, Christ loving and others centered congregation for the glory of the Lord. SELAH
on that Day: A Trilogy by Thomas Fitzhugh Sheets"on that Day" is a trilogy of books written without knowing how it all would end: Book #1: “The Death of The Promise,” Book #2: “The Resurrection of The Promise,” and Book#3: “The Land of The Promise.” The common theme of the trilogy was witnessing the faith of the First-Century Church, as demonstrated in the Parable of The Ten Virgins. The five wise virgins lived in anticipation and preparation for the groom, while the five foolish virgins were locked out. Paul's view of this faith is expressed in 2 Timothy 4:7–8. In Ephesians 4, Paul instructs teachers and preachers to bring unity of The Faith in The Body of Christ. Faith in The Second Coming and the awarding of eternal life fulfill the Promise of resurrection made to Abraham. Salvation is not awarded to anyone prior to this event but is a promise until Jesus' return and cannot be possessed this side of the grave. The author declares that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable.Thomas Fitzhugh Sheets is a seventy-six-year-old semi-retired businessman who, while never attending college, has had a reasonably successful career. He now lives at Providence Farm in Bedford County, Virginia, and has a beef cattle operation, raising calves for the feeder market. During discussions with a friend, a retired pastor, and a marine chaplain who has decided that he is “done with the church,” Tom was challenged to write a book. His friend understood his ongoing frustration with both the message and direction of the established church and felt that many others shared this frustration. Tom, who has a heart for the lost within the church, believes that the church has been hijacked by the instant-gratification crowd. Thus, he felt that he was challenged to address this issue, and as a result of this challenge, The Road to Restoration, The Death of the Promise, and The Resurrection of The Promise were developed.https://www.amazon.com/that-Day-Thomas-Sheets/dp/1959761382https://www.onthatday-timothy2468.com/http://www.ReadersMagnet.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/12723tfsrm.mp3

Acts 12:1-25What did it look like to walk as a Christian in the 1st century church? What we're the apostles and disciples facing daily, and being protected from as well. One thing is clear, their faith in Jesus and being led by the Holy Spirit they persevered. Listen in this week as we continue our study of Acts, this week in chapter 12.

This is message 1 in the Colossians series. Colossians 1:1-2 Paul was writing to the church of Colosse with the authority of an apostle. It was imperative that the Colossians understood that Paul was writing to them in his official compacity, and they better pay attention to his words. The reason why this was important was a cult was forming in the city of Colossae. The church of Colossae was going to need the authority of Paul as an apostle to help protect them from the coming attack.

Acts 2:42-47 Outline with Blanks Completed Outline The post Characteristics of The First Century Church appeared first on Community Bible Church.
Pope Francis and his supporters are engaged in a feverish attempt to change the Catholic Church before they pass away and a more traditionalist generation assumes control of the Church. This podcast considers the roles played by Pope Francis and two of his closest allies within the Church in the United States. Cardinals McElroy of San Diego and Cupich of Chicago. Those who wish to examine Mr. Solimeo's essays, which are extensively footnoted, in their original printed formats can use the following links - https://www.tfp.org/pope-francis-wages-unjust-war-on-the-latin-mass/, https://www.tfp.org/cardinal-mcelroy-homoheresy-and-the-churchs-apparent-eclipse/, and https://www.tfp.org/cardinal-cupichs-modernist-concepts/.

I think it is fair to say that our contemporary culture is one marked by an identity crisis. We don't know who we are anymore. In our modern quest to know ourselves, we have become more anxious, confused, isolated and despairing. As members of God's family and the Christian faith, we are knit together in community. Like changing our clothes, we are called to put off our old self and put on our new self. We are not to live as we used to live because we are not who we used to be. We are a new family with a communal code of ethics tied to the relational outworkings of joyful Christian love. Paul points out three distinctives of our new family, the new us, the true us. We must be wise with our words, good at anger, and radically forgive others. These disciplines are not only about experiencing God's power to change, but more to deeply encounter his abiding presence with us moment by moment.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4896328822.10.09

Have you ever wondered how important improving your workplace culture is? Well, today our guest says of all the changes that you can make in your organization there's one that matters more than all the others—the culture of your organization. Listen in as this pastor describes how working on cultural health is actually at the core of Christian discipleship for any leader. One of the things I enjoy most about my job is getting to know innovative leaders that are making a difference for the kingdom. One of those leaders is Jeff Lockyer, the Lead Pastor at Southridge Community Church in St. Catharines, Ontario in the Niagara Region. Jeff has just published a very thoughtful book called Finding Our Way: Reclaiming the First-Century Church in the Twenty-First Century. It's a fascinating story of how a church transformed for the next generation. I particularly like the way Jeff walks his readers through the underlying theology behind some of their decisions, including their focus on workplace culture. Whether you are a church leader, a leader of a Christian non-profit, or a Christian business leader, you'll find our discussion inspirational.

Today there are over 45,000 Christian denominations and sects. In the beginning, it was not so! The First Century Church of Jesus Christ was established on the foundation of the Jewish Apostles, and Old Testament Prophets. It began on the Day of Pentecost, 31 AD, in Jerusalem, Israel. Shocking to most, the concept of Christianity is not found in the Bible. Biblically, the word Christian was only applicable to those who abided in the Apostle's Doctrines (Acts 11:26). Over the past 2,000 years, Western Christianity created thousands of substitute doctrines and pagan practices, to deceive the uninformed religious masses. The only history book in the New Testament is the Book of Acts. This podcast on church history, compares the doctrines of the First Century Church, with those of Roman Catholicism, the Orthodox Church, Protestant, and Pentecostal Churches. It can help anyone put church doctrines in their proper historical context for biblical truths and salvation.http://www.ao-ministries.orgSupport the show (https://cash.app/$FoundationStation)
