Building Blocks of Biblical Community

10/21/20 • 64 min

George Gallup once stated that, “Americans are among the loneliest people in the world.” This is despite the fact that most of us live in cities and neighborhoods, work for successful companies, and regularly attend large community, sports, and religious gatherings. We're acquainted with many, but known by few.
While Biblical community has been a bit of a buzzword in today’s church culture, we think that’s a good thing. We need to understand it. We need to embrace it. Most importantly, we need to experience it. Applying these building blocks of biblical community will help you foster deeper, more authentic community--a community that points the world to Jesus.

I Believe in Science

Send us a text

Many secular voices in the media and politics are repeating the same talking-point or buzzphrase, "I believe in science." While this is a great declaration, it is also an accusation to suggest that many--especially those with a religious worldview--do not. On this episode, we are asking the question, "As Christians, are we at war with science?" To put it even more simply, do you believe in science?

Celebrating the Impact of the Protestant Reformation

Send us a text

This Saturday, October 31st, is widely known and celebrated as Halloween. Even during a global pandemic, children all across the country are still walking around neighborhoods searching for free candy. Yet, October 31st is celebrated around the world for another -- more significant reason -- the Protestant Reformation.
While many in the church have heard the name "Martin Luther," the father of the Protestant Reformation, most have little idea of who he really was and the significance of the revolution he helped to start. A quick dive into the history of this event will reveal that little in our world today can be understood apart from the Reformation.
If God could do all this through the obedience of one man, what could He do through your simple act of obedience?
