    The Accuser of the Brethren

    Caroline Owens is on the leadership team of Christ the Reconciler, a community of followers of Jesus seeking to live out John 17. She prepared this teaching for the first retreat back at CTR after a year-long pause because of the coronavirus. The teaching was given on April 17, 2021. After she taught, we realized that not only was this a powerful stand-alone prophetic message to our community and the church in the US and around the globe, but it also was a gift from the Holy Spirit - the first teaching in a new series, “Foundations of Community.” Caroline has been married to her husband Phillip for over 30 years. They have six children. Caroline is a Roman Catholic who has taken vows as a lay Dominican - the "Order of Preachers." Preach it, Caroline!

    The Advocate Vs. The Accuser

    The 2nd teaching in the “Foundations of Community” series, following Caroline’s teaching on The Accuser of the Brethren. Amy & Caroline work together to further unpack the ways in which we invite the Accuser into our minds, our lives, and the church - and how to instead welcome the Advocate, the Holy Spirit! Teaching given at Christ the Reconciler on 15 May 2021.

    Forgiveness

    In the 5th teaching of our Foundations of Community series, Amy follows on Merisha’s teachings on repentance and confession, with a teaching on forgiveness. How does forgiveness work in God’s court of justice, in heaven? How do we “justify the wicked” and “condemn the righteous”, without realizing it? Teaching given at the Christ the Reconciler retreat on 21 August 2021, which was held at Hope Chapel.

Teaching given by Thomas Cogdell for the CTR Retreat (via Zoom) on 18 September 2021.

    Reconciliation

    In the 7th teaching of our Foundations of Community series, we continue the second half of the series, which focuses on the commitments to action. The second commitment is Reconciliation.

    Formation

    In the 8th teaching of our Foundations of Community series, we continue the second half of the series, which focuses on the commitments to action. The third commitment is to Formation. After a brief intro by Thomas, Amy talks about why we need formation, how formation works, and what we should do as a community regarding formation.

    Hospitality

    In the 9th teaching of our Foundations of Community series, we continue the second half of the series, which focuses on the commitments to action. The fourth commitment is to Hospitality. After a brief intro by Thomas, John Michael & Diane draw from decades of experience offering hospitality to others, to encourage us to "take it to the next level" in the hospitality we offer within and as a community. Teaching recorded for the retreat at Christ the Reconciler on 10 May 2022 (with the introduction recorded a few days later because Thomas forgot to push the "record" button during the actual retreat).

    Work

    We conclude the Foundations of Community with this, the 10th teaching of our series. It also completes the second half of the series, which focuses on the commitments to action. The fifth and final commitment is to Work. Phillip Owens imparts to us his high value and immense capacity for work, explaining that it comes from God and is for God. Thomas wraps up by grounding our understanding of work in Jesus' report to his Father, John 17:4. Teaching recorded for the retreat at Christ the Reconciler on 10 May 2022
