I. They devoted themselves to the Apostle's teaching. II. They devoted themselves to the fellowship of the saints. III. They devoted themselves to the Lord's Supper. IV. They devoted themselves to prayer.

Ephesians 4:1-16

The last few verses of Acts 2 give us a glimpse of the early church. These new believers devoted themselves to fellowship with each other. They lived vulnerable lives in rich relationships with one another. Living like Christ in the power of the Spirit enables us to live sacrificially, humbly, and generously. May we live counterculturally like the early church so others are drawn to the God who saves.    For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Colin Miller about his book We Are Only Saved Together and his own journey into the vision of Dorothy Day and vocation of being a Catholic Worker in his hometown of Minneapolis.  Colin talks about his Christian upbringing: raised as Lutheran, becoming an Episcopal priest and subsequent conversion to the Catholic Church. Out of his own experience of life in community with the poor, engaging with the gospel implications of Catholic Social Thought, Colin shares insights about the current breakdown in society and church and the alternative celebratory model of living the Sermon on the Mount in community with others.Colin is the director for the Center for Catholic Social Thought at the Church of the Assumption (https://assumptionsp.org/ccst/) in St. Paul. Formerly a priest in the Episcopal Church, he became a Catholic eight years ago after discovering the Catholic Worker tradition of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. In Minnesota, he has co-founded a Catholic Worker house (https://www.maurinhouse.com/) devoted to common prayer, material simplicity and service to the poor.  He lives there with his wife and five children.- Links -For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.themissionalnetwork.com/author/alan-roxburgh/https://journalofmissionalpractice.com/alan-roxburghTwitter: https://twitter.com/alanjroxburgh?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkJoining God in the Great Unraveling https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-God-Great-Unraveling-Learned/dp/1725288508/ref=sr_1_Leadership, God's Agency and Disruptions https://www.amazon.ca/Leadership-Gods-Agency-Disruptions-Confronting/dp/1725271745/refJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our Time https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-Remaking-Church-Changing-World/dp/0819232114/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2NHGW8KB7L0SQ&keywords=Alan+J+Roxburgh&qid=1687098960&s=books&sprefix=alan+j+roxburgh%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-3For Jenny Sinclair:Website: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/For Colin Miller:We Are Only Saved Together: Living the Revolutionary Vision of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement, Ave Maria Press (2024): https://www.avemariapress.com/products/we-are-only-saved-togetherhttps://catholicworker.org/author/collinmiller_55421/Center for Catholic Social Thought: https://www.catholicsocialthought.org/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Most parishes form their people in the faith, but do they truly teach individuals how to pray, help them understand and actively engage with the sacraments, and guide them in making practical, moral changes in the daily lives? Developing the habits of a disciple can be challenging, and it happens most effectively within a community where people support and challenge one another to grow as followers of Jesus. In today's conversation, Jodi Phillips and Michelle Zuhlke join me to discuss the faith formation step of building a clear path for discipleship. We explore the importance of small groups in fostering spiritual growth, emphasizing the role of personal relationships and mentorship.

Speaker: Kristian Hernandez   Scripture: Acts 2:41-47 Acts 4:32-35

The Spirit Birthed Church is a Vibrant community that Values: I. Discipleship in Community: Jesus being Formed in us and Shown Through us! (41-42) II. Shared Life in Community: Shared Meals, Open Homes and Generosity! (42b, 44-46) III. Witness through Community: Offer a Taste of Belonging to those Far from God! (43, 46, 47) Practical Implications o Using “love Jesus, like Jesus, about others” framework: what areas encouraging in life now? Needing growth? o What is your next step in shared life and hospitality? o How can your relational community invite others in?

Americans are great at emphasizing our individuality. But in God's plan for the church, that can sometimes be a problem. In this week's message, Pastor Connor talks about community and why it's so vital for followers of Christ. He also discusses what can go wrong when we try to be Lone Ranger Christians.This week, Teresa and special guest Connie Hall discuss the importance of sharing life together, how Christ needs to be at the center of our community, and how God can use us when we put in the effort to introduce ourselves to someone new. Give this week's episode a listen to hear about how we need the church and the church needs us! Oh, and hear about some quirky 19th century advertising we found for an extra laugh.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

Sermon: Our Shared Life TogetherScripture: Galatians 6:1-10Series: GalatiansTeacher: Bro. Chris CarterWhat does it mean to live a life in a true Christian community? Using the metaphor of bumper cars, Bro. Chris Carter contrasts superficial interactions with the deep, interwoven existence we are called to as believers. He examines the Greek term koinonia, which encompasses the essence of Christian fellowship and mutual support. He also addresses the importance of gentle restoration when one falls into sin, emphasizing that only those walking in the Spirit can truly aid in healing. Listeners will gain insight into bearing one another's burdens, the impact of sowing goodness, and the reward of persevering in faith.

Part of Season 4! In this episode, the Renaissance Team continues the Dream. Create. Enjoy. Podcast by looking at the realities of microchurch community. What does it look like to live as a spiritual family? Why is often so hard to imagine church beyond events in our calendar? What does reimagining our spiritual formation communally mean? In this episode, we unpack these themes and get into the day-to-day realities of microchurches.

Are people more self-absorbed these days? Has the proliferation of social media, polarization, and the decline of traditional religious affiliation made it easier for people to be more self-absorbed and less interested in the possibilities and demands of sharing in community? What about self-awareness?  How can the cultivation of self-awareness help us address what seems like a self-absorption epidemic.    During the first half of the discussion, we reflect on the above questions and try to get a handle on what it's like to pastor, live, and have faith in a seemingly more self-absorbed world. The second half of the discussion will focus on exploring our journey to deepening self-awareness and how that practice can offer us a way out of the collective naval gazing.

We live in a transactional world. Too many of us bring a transactional mindset to faith. The cross is not transactional. It flows from and establishes the Shared Life. Text: John 6:41-71

Many of us wrongly believe that eternal life starts when we get to heaven. Salvation is not something we hope happens after we die. In the shared life, salvation is a daily occurrence. Text: John 6:16-40

Jesus doesn't often meet our needs the way we would expect. He instead offers us a shared life with God. How do we learn to say Thy will be done instead of my will be done? Text: John 6:1-14

We've been talking about the need to mind our mindset, which is the title of Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller's new book, with their research showcasing a majority of what we think and believe is not fact, but the stories our brain creates to help us make sense of things and ultimately protect us. I'm back for part two with Michael to walk and talk through his personal Values, Motives, and Habits. We begin on spirituality and he shares his appreciation of his faith community helping him not be left alone with his own stories and benefitting from their input and correction. It struck me how important relationships are as an overall antidote to getting lost and isolated in my own stories and beliefs that again, per Michael and Megan's research, is not fact but the story my brain has written. I need input from friends and guides and coaches and therapists to balance me out. This is acute to me as in my own introversion and self-protection can drive me to isolate and be left alone to get lost in my own stories and i have to proactively seek out and share my stories with others to keep me from getting lost. Michael also shares about his desire for loyalty in relationships, dialing up his energy to live longer and better for his family, how he starts his day, getting bored with his work and liking to change things up, how a financial advisor my dad recommended to him gave him a new lease on his outlook on money, and how he feels his non-productive time leads him to his greatest productivity. Again, Michael Hyatt's new book is called Mind Your Mindset: The Science That Shows Success Starts with Your Thinking.

What is Our Relationship With the Glorious Saints! In speaking of devotion to the saints, it is important to understand who we are in the first place . . . and who they are in the second place. Therefore, this All Saints Conference begins by looking at the Body of Christ itself. Note the expression. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. St. Augustine helps us understand this expression further. He describes the whole Body of Christ this way. Jesus is the head. And we are the body's members. Understand that there is a fundamental oneness. There is one life within the body. And that is the life of Jesus. There is a fundamental oneness with the shared life of Jesus. The conference further explains this idea. Shared Life of Jesus This shared life has some properties we also need to understand. Despite the discussions one might hear in modern language about your relationship with Jesus, there is a fundamental truth. You do not have a relationship with Christ that is completely separate from mine. It is important to comprehend this truth. Salvation doesn't happen because Jesus saves me! Rather, I am saved because Jesus saves us! There is a difference. Some Christians believe Jesus saves me, and Jesus saves others and somehow, we come together to form His body. No, that is not accurate. Jesus saves us, by making us His people . . . by making us His body. He doesn't save people individually, then gathers them. He saves individuals by bringing them into His people. The conference goes into further details and explains why this truth is important. The conference explains how this truth helps explain who we are within the Church. The Three Elements of the Body of Christ When we die, we are still members of the body of Christ. Death changes the connection somewhat, but we remain a member. When we are live, we can physically touch and see one another. When we die, or connection changes . . . but we remain a member of the body. Typically, we speak of three levels of the Church, or three elements of the Body of Christ. We speak of not different parts (like hands or feet), but different place where we find those parts. The three elements are the Church Triumphant, the Church Militant, and the Church Suffering. The Church on Earth, for those that are physically alive, in the struggle for goodness on earth, are called the Church Militant. The conference explains this further. Not to be confused by using the word Militant. Hear more about with this means and why it is important to understand. The other two elements are also explained. In doing battle within the struggle of good and evil on earth and have emptied themselves to worldly views. They have turned from sin and have lived their lives in terms of the Gospel. These people are what we call the saints. They are truly gloriously alive in heaven. The saints are alive . . . they are not simply a memory of life from long ago. While they await full redemption of their bodies in heaven, they are gloriously alive before the throne of God in heaven. They remain members of the Church. Just as they were invested in the Body of Church when they were physically alive, the remain invested within the body now! They remain concerned with the well-being of their brothers and sisters in Christ. Why Have a Devotion to Saints? The conference's focus is Our Relationship with the Glorious Saints! There are several questions that are reviewed including the following. Why would I have a devotion to the Saints? Why wouldn't I just turn to Jesus? And several other questions about Saints are addressed. Understand why we turn to the Saints. The Glory of God is the Human Person Fully Alive. Wow! What a statement. What does it mean and what how do the saints impact this statement? Hear more about saints and what they actually mean to us! Before you have a devotion to the saints, they have turned to us first! Listen to this important conference on Saints and how they interact with us!

We embrace the good news from Acts 20 that The Spirit is healing us at the very place of our wounding. The healing waters of God's love are flowing between us and through us as we share life in the shared life of God.

Sermon from the third Sunday of Easter. Sermon texts: Acts 9:1-20; John 21:1-19

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | The opening verses of 1 Thessalonians 2 detail the way that believers grow in authentic, Christian community. It comes by sharing our losses, sharing our gains, and sharing our mission. 

We intro the book of Acts and declare: The Spirit of God is on the move inviting us into the revolution of an intimate life that transgresses border and boundary!

In this message, Pastor Mark shares with us about a life shared in Christ. Using several verses and passages of scripture he lays a Biblical foundation for what the Holy Spirit has come to do in the life of believers...create a family! This family is to be established by a new standard of love, we are to love one another the same way in which Jesus has loved us! While it seems like an impossibility, Jesus made it clear that Holy Spirit will make this a reality in us. In the Greek we call this, "Koinonia."
