Biblical Love

James Rochford

Romans 13:8-10

Paul writes that the summation of the Old Testament law is to "love your neighbor as yourself." In order to live out this biblical command we must understand what biblical love is, why we should practice it, and how. Although counter-intuitive, both the Bible and secular researchers claim that a life of sacrificially serving others is the key to fulfillment.

Serving in the Body of Christ

James Rochford

Romans 12:6-21

Paul describes God's intention for fellowship within the Body of Christ: a close-knit group of believers sharing in each other's lives as each one exercises his God-given spiritual gifts. When Christians live this way through the power of the Holy Spirit, it creates a type of community not found elsewhere.\r\n

The Body of Christ

James Rochford

Romans 12:3-5

Paul describes the church as a body, made of up many parts, all of which are vital and have a specific purpose. As God's design, Christian community is essential for spiritual growth and is, in fact, an antidote for the loneliness epidemic plaguing so many people today.

Persuasion vs. Pressure

John Ross

Romans 12:3-5

Being persuasive is a key factor in convincing others to give their lives to God. Using pressure can be counter-productive or ineffective in making our case. This teaching highlights what it looks like to be persuasive for God and how to avoid pressuring people. The teacher explains the effects of pressuring people and what it means about us. With the correct understanding we can create a healthy tension where we work with people, not against them.

Saying "Yes" to Christ's Community

Patrice McCormac

Romans 12:4-5

Religion in our culture is often considered a private matter apart from any type of close spiritual community. John Stott points out in The Cross of Christ "from the day of Pentecost onward it has been clear that conversion to Christ means conversion to the community of Christ." As Christians it would be na?ve to believe that we are not influenced by our culture's commitment to radical individualism. This workshop explores the risks and dangers of Christians living outside of Christian community and looks at the Biblical principle that a commitment to Christ is meant to be lived out in the context of a commitment to a Christian community.\r\n

The Call to Unity in a Divided Culture

Mike Woods

Romans 12:4-5

We live in a time where our culture is deeply divided. Politically, ethnically, and economically our culture is in constant conflict - even at a deep interpersonal level, close relationships and community are in a sharp decline. How can the Church find unity in such a divided landscape? We will look at what insight the Bible provides into how the Body of Christ can remain unified and interdependent even in this cultural climate.
