All Things to All People

James Rochford

1 Corinthians 9:1-23

Paul exemplifies God's grace by foregoing what he is owed by those people to whom he brought the gospel and becoming like those people to better love them. As Christians, we are called to do likewise: to belong to the culture around us, for the sake of bringing the gospel into it.

Shepherding vs. Soldiering: Why the Tension?

Mike Woods

Acts 18:1-18

There is a tension between mission-focused verse pastoral-focused mindsets in ministry, we tend to lean towards either task or relationship. In scripture we can see that Jesus has called the church to do both, to have our focus on a mission but to care for others as well. Leaders need to both invest in people and keep the ultimate mission in focus. \r\n

Good Friends are Hard to Find

Patrice McCormac

1 Samuel 18:1-23:29

If we want to have good friendships, we need to choose to be a good friend! Through studying the deep friendship between Jonathan and David in 1 Samuel we see many elements of true friendship. Good friends are faithful to promises, willing to warn of danger, speak well of others, and ultimately pursue a friendship that is centered on God and advancing his purposes! \r\n

Bonhoeffer - Community Under the Word

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 2:14

Dietrich Bonheoffer, a leading figure in the Christian church in Nazi Germany, became the director of the Confessing Church's underground seminary. During his time there, he lived with a dozen or more Christian men in community, something that resembles Xenos' ministry house model today in some ways. From Bonheoffer, we can learn keys to rich community, including being wary of romanticizing community and being watchful that we are living under the word in this area. This means that in the context of community we are practicing confession, thankfulness, self-control, and humility.
