Scripture: John 13:1-15
Jesus makes it clear that one of the most fundamental characteristics of his counter-cultural Kingdom community is radical and sacrificial service to one another. This requires us to put aside our egos and give up our incessant need to prove ourselves. It requires us to stoop low and lovingly serve one another no matter the cost.

Over the next couple of months, we will be exploring Ephesians 4 and its profound implications for us as Jesus followers. As we begin this journey, we find right away that Jesus has designed his church with great intentionality. It is to be a community in which each person has a unique and irreplaceable role to play in God's ongoing work in our midst. 

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-12, Exodus 19:3-6
Throughout the story of Scripture, God's people are called, not to separate from the world, but to live as a distinct community in the midst of the world. This is key to our role as the representatives of God here on Earth. The call to distinctness began with the people of Israel after their Exodus from Egypt and has continued in the life of Jesus' Church. We are called to live different so that when people look at us, they see Jesus and His Kingdom.

In this episode, we talk with Foye about the "how-tos" of spiritual mentoring. Whether you have a mentor, are a mentor, or are seeking out a mentoring relationship, this conversation will give you some practical next steps for the journey!   

Scripture: Luke 24:13-35
Easter 2024

In this episode, we hear from one of our microchurches! Over the past year, the Nichols and Mims have been creating a safe and encouraging community for medical students, medical professionals, and their neighbors! They set a great example on what it looks like to partner together around a common passion and mission! 
Our All-Family Gatherings begin with a short training on microchurches and missional living followed by table discussions. This is a recording of one of those training portions.
