    S2S Sisters: "God’s Design for Beauty: Our Creator’s Standard" by Melody Schrock

    November 2, 2024Strength to Strength welcomed Melody Schrock to discuss beauty, designed by God, created for our enjoyment. Whether we acknowledge it or not, we have a worldview of beauty. Beauty was God’s idea and He has a standard. As women, we are image bearers and we display the beauty of God, but how? When people see us, are they drawn to us or to worship of our Creator? What does it look like to veil ourselves spirit, soul, and body? Is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder? We’ll explore some of these questions in our time together. God has a design and it is good! An interactive question-and-answer period follows. https://strengthtostrength.org/gods-design-for-beauty-our-creators-standard/

    S2S Books: "The Patient Ferment of the Early Church" by Alan Kreider

    Alan Kreider. How and why did the early church grow in the first four hundred years despite disincentives, harassment, and occasional persecution? In this unique historical study, veteran scholar Alan Kreider delivers the fruit of a lifetime of study as he tells the amazing story of the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Challenging traditional understandings, Kreider contends the church grew because the virtue of patience was of central importance in the life and witness of the early Christians. They wrote about patience, not evangelism, and reflected on prayer, catechesis, and worship, yet the church grew–not by specific strategies but by patient ferment. https://strengthtostrength.org/the-patient-ferment-of-the-early-church/

    "Walk the Talk: Spotlight on Kingdom Work – part 4" by four brothers

    Strength to Strength welcomed four brothers to discuss what their lives look like being a disciple of Jesus. They will share with us ways to pray and partner with them in their work. The unsung heros of Jesus’ kingdom are the faithful disciples who serve their Lord without fanfare or applause. Whether you are a warrior in secret prayer, a widow who casts in the last two mites, or a worker advancing the bleeding edge of the kingdom, you can rest assured that deeds of service do not escape the eye of our benevolent King. “Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation.”- AristotleShawn Miller joins to represent LifeQuest Community: a disciple-making ministry in State College, Pennsylvania. There is a huge gulf between what people know before they come to State College, PA and who we hope they will know when they leave State College. These people need a bridge. LifeQuest is a nonprofit organization that allows volunteers to be that bridge to point people to Jesus. With over 50,000 students attending Penn State University and 50 different countries represented, we have a golden opportunity to preach the Good News of our King to those who have never heard or seen genuine Christianity. Our goal is to be a local ministry with a worldwide reach. For more info, contact Ernest Eby by email at erneste@lifeq.org or by phone at (814) 325-7644.

    S2S Sisters: “Little Embassies of Heaven” by Tania Taylor

    Strength to Strength welcomed Tania Taylor to discuss how our communities can be a piece of heaven on earth. Getting the bigger picture of our calling as sisters, to further Christ’s kingdom through the local church body. One of the biggest threats to the church in any given age or place is that of nationalism. How easily we can become sidelined and distracted by the transient problems and interests of our earthly parent country, entangling ourselves with all manner of political causes and ideals that have absolutely nothing to do with our calling to be pilgrims and strangers in this life. When this happens, we ultimately experience confusion and impotence. Where does our allegiance lie? We as Christians have a distinct calling to represent the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Our calling to represent Christ’s Kingdom is best promoted through the everyday expression of local church life. When we get this bigger picture, we can invest ourselves in our local churches with abandon, and in the process, fulfill our divine calling as sisters to help represent little embassies of Heaven—Christ’s Kingdom displayed on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

    BONUS: “Kingdom Pilgrims and American Politics” by Brandon Byler

    Strength to Strength welcomed Brandon Byler to discuss God’s kingdom and earthly kingdoms, specifically American politics, and how followers of Jesus should relate, especially in a hotly-contested election season. In this meeting we’d like to consider several questions: Why have Anabaptists typically shunned national, political involvement? What sort of attitude should we have toward American leaders at all levels of government? Does the Bible give us any guidance for interacting with those in authority? Is there anything Anabaptists can legitimately do to influence the direction of nations? An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

    “When Bad Things Happen” by Wendell Martin

    Strength to Strength welcomes Wendell Martin to share lessons from his personal story of difficult experiences. When bad things happen in life, we might console others or ourselves with reassurance that “it was God’s will” or that everything happens for a reason. But is everything that happens the will of God? Can I trust the goodness of God in spite of all the evil in the world? An interactive question-and-answer period follows. https://strengthtostrength.org/when-bad-things-happen/
