What does Zion mean to the Jewish people—and what happens when Jews themselves profoundly disagree about its meaning? In this Kol Nidrei sermon, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback traces Zion through the arc of a Jewish life and explores two ancient teachings: U'vacharta bachayim—“Choose life”—and Atem nitzavim hayom kulchem—“You stand this day, all of you.” At a moment of deep division, he offers three challenges for sustaining the Jewish story: Know it. Teach it. And make room for one another inside it.

You weren't built to do this alone. In this episode, we dig into Acts 2:42-47, the picture Luke paints of the early church, a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, so devoted that no one among them went without. We talk about why community is often the hardest part of faith, why vulnerability isn't the cost of belonging but the whole point of it, and what John Wesley's class meetings can still teach us about "Christian conferencing" today. Plus, a look at this week's Faith Challenge and how you can practice "life together" in your own week, one day at a time.
Learning to Navigate Conflict | Jeremy KingOver the last several hundred years there has been a profound shift toward what many social commentators have described as a radical individualism. A pervasive cultural ethos such as this can't help but form followers of Jesus. As a result, there is a strong undercurrent threatening to tear us away from real commitment to a community of believers. From the very beginning, we have been invited by Jesus to do life together as the family of God—to pledge ultimate allegiance to Jesus and to the new family He is nurturing in this world. The practical question arises: How do we live as the family of God? What skills, attitudes and postures of the heart are required? Life Together is a teaching series designed to answer those questions. Over the course of eight weeks, our teaching time will describe in practical detail what is required to live as the family of God in a world that is so enamoured with the whims of the individual, with freedom from commitment, with a consumeristic, me-first mindset and, instead, embrace the radical invitation of Jesus to follow him wholeheartedly TOGETHER, as members of his family, in this fractured world.The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

A homily delivered by Katie Haught on the 16th Sunday after the Pentecost, September 6th, 2026. The lectionary texts for the day were Ezek 33:1-11, Ps 119:33-48, Rom 12:9-21, Matt 18:15-20
Pastor Brandon Miller
QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Each of us is a singular narrative, which is constructed, continually, unconsciously, by, through, and in us—through our perceptions, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions; and, not least, our discourse, our spoken narrations.”~Oliver Sacks (1933-2015), famed British neurologist “The reason why the theme of repentance is neglected, as indeed it is not only in modern secular society but in the church, is because it is a costly thing to repent. It does mean reshaping your life in quite a radical way. And people, just because they find it too costly of a prospect, …try to devise a way of being ‘Christian' which doesn't involve anything…radical….”~J.I. Packer (1926-2020), British-born theologian “…insecure in our relationships and anxious about intimacy, we look to technology for ways to be in relationships and protect ourselves from them at the same time.”~Sherry Turkle, professor of social science and technology at MIT “The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence.” ~Georg Simmel (1858-1918), German sociologist, philosopher, and critic “Everybody makes excuses for themselves they wouldn't be prepared to make for other people.”~Rebecca Goldstein, Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away “Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German pastor-theologian in Life Together In ancient Rome, “Christianity seemed to have little chance…. Christianity's success is to be found in its absolute inclusiveness. More than any other of its competitor religions it attracted all races and classes…. Christianity…gloried in its appeal to Jew, Gentile, African, and Barbarian…. There was no other religion that took in all groups and all strata of society.”~Kenneth Scott Latourette (1884-1986), American historian at Yale University “Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), Baptist minister and civil rights leaderSERMON PASSAGERomans 12:1-21 (NASB95) 1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7 if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

What happens when God's people gather around the Lord's Table? In this message, Grace at the Table, we explore the meaning of the Lord's Supper and the extraordinary gift it represents. Through Jesus, we are reconciled to God, forgiven through his sacrifice, and welcomed into a restored relationship with our Creator. The Lord's Table also reminds us that we are not Christians in isolation. Paul writes that although we are many, we share one loaf and are one body. The meal draws us back to Christ and to one another. As Trinity closes the Life Together series, this message points to the foundation that holds the church together: Jesus Christ. He is the one who invites us to his table, gives himself for us, and continues to gather his people in every season. 1 Corinthians 10:16–17 Romans 5:1–11 Grace at the Table

We were never designed to follow Jesus alone. In Week 5 of our Rhythms series, "Life Together," we'll discover from Hebrews 10:24–25 why we need one another to keep following Jesus faithfully: notice people, show up for people, and encourage people. God isn't inviting us into a perfect church. He's inviting us into a family.

Nelson Zotoo finishes our sermon series, Life Together, with a sermon on 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12. (August 30, 2026)
What does it look like to actually live life together as followers of Jesus? In Galatians 5:13–6:5, Paul connects the freedom of the gospel with a life of humble, burden-bearing love. Christian freedom is not about turning inward toward ourselves. The Spirit turns us outward toward one another. Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, this message follows three movements: • The flesh turns us inward. • The Spirit turns us outward. • The Word turns us upward. Bearing one another's burdens means more than trying to fix someone's problems. It means listening, making room, staying present, serving with humility, and walking patiently with people through weakness and suffering. And ultimately, it means bringing one another back to the Word of God, trusting Jesus to do what only Jesus can do. As Trinity enters a season of transition, this message points to a deeper truth: the church belongs to Jesus Christ. He has carried our greatest burden at the cross, and because Christ has borne us, we are free to bear one another. Galatians 5:13–6:5

Faith Fueled Woman - Daily Devotional, Bible Study for Women, Prayer, Talk to God
Do you feel lonely, disconnected, or like meaningful friendship has become harder to find?We live in a world where we are constantly connected through our phones, yet many of us feel more alone than ever. In this episode of Faith Fueled Living, Kristin explores why God never intended us to carry life's burdens by ourselves and why genuine community is essential to our emotional, spiritual, and physical well being.Through biblical wisdom, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, you will discover how being fully present, sharing a meal, extending an invitation, and showing up for someone can create the connection we are all craving. Kristin also explores the powerful symbolism of gathering around the table and how simple acts of Christian hospitality can turn strangers into friends.If you have been feeling isolated, longing for deeper friendships, or waiting for someone else to reach out first, this episode will encourage you to take one small step toward connection. Your presence may be exactly what someone else needs, and theirs may be what you need too.Takeaways• God created us for relationships, not isolation or self sufficiency.• Feeling lonely does not mean something is wrong with you. It may mean you need more meaningful connection.• Scripture calls us to notice others, carry one another's burdens, and remain actively involved in each other's lives.• Being connected online cannot replace the emotional and spiritual benefits of being present with people.• Sharing a meal is one of the simplest ways to deepen friendships and create a sense of belonging.• Meaningful community rarely happens by accident. Someone has to extend the invitation.• You do not need a perfect home, elaborate meal, or large gathering to practice hospitality.• Presence is one of the most powerful and practical ways we can show love.• A small act of reaching out can become the beginning of an important friendship.Today's ActionThink of one person you can invite, call, visit, or share a meal with this week. Do not wait until your schedule, home, or circumstances feel perfect.

Maybe dinner feels chaotic, your workouts have slipped, or your schedule feels overwhelming, and before you know it, you've decided you need to become a completely different person. But what if the problem isn't that your whole life needs a reset?

Genesis 3:1-13,16b; Romans 12:13-17 | 8/16/2026 | Dr. Vincent Bacote. We welcome Dr. Vincent Bacote of Wheaton College as our guest speaker. Genesis 3 shows us the madness sin unleashed into our relationship with God and one another, bringing shame, hiding, blame, conflict, and brokenness. Romans 12 points us toward something radically different: a people transformed by God's grace who practice hospitality, humility, compassion, peace, and genuine love. In Christ, God gives us a new way to live together.

The Delight of Life Together | Jeff White | August 2, 2026https://www.newcityep.com
What does life look like after someone responds to the gospel?Acts 2 tells us that after 3,000 people came to Christ at Pentecost, the new believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Their faith wasn't limited to a weekly gathering. They began sharing life.In the final message of The Invitation series, John Gunter explores the importance of Christian community and the relationships that form when believers intentionally spend time together, encourage one another, meet needs, and pursue God together.This kind of community also changes the way we think about evangelism. We don't need the perfect program or all the answers. We can simply live faithfully, invite others into what God is doing, and trust Him with the results.We plant. We water. God gives the growth.Key Scriptures: Acts 2:42-47 Hebrews 10:23-25 1 Corinthians 3:5-7Eagle Community Church of Christ Mont Belvieu, TexasLoving God. Loving People. Following Jesus.

Looking at Romans 12:9-13, we'll explore the necessity for Christian community. We're saved INTO a family, and the Apostle Paul gives a powerful series of commands on what life together should look like and be shaped by. What's Paul's foundation for this radically loving community? God has loved us, so we love each other.
