"How Leadership Cultivates Compelling Community" (Acts 6:1-7)

We've seen that Christ's vision for the church is to be both wide and deep--diversity and unity. Yet this is easier said than done. What happens when the diversity of the church causes disunity? When unity is threatened, we'll see that God has given his church a gift to help: leaders.

"How Prayer Cultivates Compelling Community" (Acts 4:23-31)

Christ's vision for us, his body, is to be community that is uniquely diverse and unified--wide and deep. Most people like unity and diversity in theory, but it's much harder to work out in reality. We'll consider this Sunday one way Scripture teaches us to foster compelling community: praying together.

"What Makes Christian Community Compelling?" (Ephesians 2:11-22)

In our increasingly isolated world, the church is a unique place where community can flourish. But what makes church community different? We're beginning a series considering how the gospel transforms our relationships with one another. This Sunday, we'll see how God's word makes a Christian community that is both wide and deep.

Gospel Freedom (Galatians 5:1-15)

The gospel is something altogether different than either religion or irreligion. It is free and free-ing! The gospel is free: we don’t have to earn salvation by our works. But the gospel is also freeing: it frees us to love and serve one another. Or, as the Apostle Paul puts it, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” That’s what the gospel is all about: Faith expressed through love.
