We talk about our trip to Koinonia Farm - and a really difficult passage in Act 5… Koinonia

Discipleship & Koinonia

Koinonia, which is the Greek word for the deep, committed fellowship we see in the early church, means more than casual friendship. It speaks of partnership, sharing, and intimate communion. The Table of Fellowship is where this koinonia is lived out. It is where the love of the Trinity is displayed in real time among God's people.That table was where early Christians gathered to remember the broken body and shed blood of Jesus, to share meals, to pray, and to live out their new life together in koinonia. Even in a time of persecution, when meeting as Christians could cost them everything, the Table was at the very heart of their worship and fellowship.The grace we receive at the King's Table naturally flows into the Table of Fellowship where we are transformed, discipled, and display Christ to the world. (Acts 2:42-47)

“The Hebrew way to understand salvation is not to read a theological treatise but to sit around a campfire with family and friends, listening to a story. It is the very nature of storytelling to include us, the hearers, in the story… For salvation is not the spiritual diagnosis of souls, one here, one there. It is the story of a people. A community with a past, with ancestors, with common experience.”—Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand PlacesIn this next episode of the Become Good Soil Foundations Series, we invite you to pause and personally explore how koinonia—the heartbeat of the redemptive community modeled in the New Testament—might provide a clue for how we live counterculturally in a world deeply formed by hyper-individualism.In the film Defiance, we see a heroic picture of redemptive community. The Bielski brothers gather fleeing refugees in the forests of modern-day Belarus to escape the persecution of World War II. There in the woods, with only the essentials, a redemptive community is formed as they struggle to survive. When they host a wedding, it becomes a beautiful reminder that joy and sorrow coexist. (Links to the Defiance Trailer and Wedding Scene here.)Throughout the New Testament, we see redemptive fellowship being recovered and nurtured by a remnant of people whose hearts are being captured and apprenticed by the Living God. We catch a glimpse of this in Acts chapter 2. Koinonia is defined as fellowship, association, community, participation, and sharing in one another's lives.The first picture we have of koinonia exists within the Trinity itself: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect fellowship. But more than simply observing that fellowship, we are invited into koinonia—first and foremost with God.And from this place of intimate communion with God, the gospel invites us to love others. Paul helps us explore this idea through the imagery of the body in 1 Corinthians 12:25–26:“The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, the parts we see and the parts we don't. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.”To be in fellowship with others in our fallen age is inherently risky. It involves cycles of rupture and repair. How do we pursue, engage in, respond to, repair, and flourish within a redemptive community? Where might God be inviting you to reconsider your participation in koinonia?Join us as we explore this profound idea of koinonia together.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie

In the days after Resurrection and Pentecost, the community had everything in common, sold what they had, and gave to any as they had need. The Resurrection experience of radical sharing in community is alive with possibility.

When couples say they have a communication problem, they are usually looking for techniques to improve how they talk. But communication struggles begin in the heart. New habits will only produce temporary improvement. In this session, we will explore how the gospel transforms the heart so that couples can move from talk trouble to genuine biblical koinonia—a shared life of honesty, humility, and grace.

What does it truly mean to pour out your life for Christ? In this message from the "Invitation to Joy" series through Philippians, we explore three key Greek words: agape, koinonia, and kenoo. These reveal the heart of what it means to follow Jesus with everything we have. Walking through Philippians chapters 2, 3, and 4, this message unpacks how Christ emptied Himself and became obedient to the point of death, and how we are called to do the same. You'll be encouraged to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, to be anxious for nothing, and to discover that when you empty yourself for God's purposes, He fills you with an inexpressible joy. Whether you've been walking with the Lord for 40 years or are just beginning to sense His presence, this message will challenge you to find your place in the body of Christ and start pouring out for His glory.0:00 Introduction2:10 Overview of Philippians — Joy and the Proper Mindset3:26 Three Greek Words — Agape, Koinonia, and Kenoo6:31 Philippians 4 — Rejoice, Be Anxious for Nothing, and Think on These Things8:45 Philippians 3 — Counting All Things as Loss to Gain Christ9:59 Personal Testimony — Pressing On Through Broken Seasons11:14 Philippians 2:1–18 — The Heart of the Message13:47 What Is Consolation in Christ?15:45 Why Consolation Is Here — Lives Poured Out in Service17:31 The Kenosis — Christ Emptied Himself20:05 Working Out Your Salvation with Fear and Trembling22:25 The Joy of Being Emptied and Used by God25:37 A Call to Pour Out Your Life as Easter Approaches27:43 Invitation — The Holy Spirit and Learning to Be LedSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?
