As a brand new church community in Charlotte, we are seeking to simply practice the way of Jesus, together, for the renewal of our city. As we see it, to be a disciple, or an apprentice of Jesus of Nazareth, is to order your life around three goals: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. Our dream is that as we live this way, our lives, our communities, and our city will be transformed: in Charlotte as it is in Heaven.

    00 Witness + Service | An Introduction

    Robert Mullholland defines spiritual formation this way: "Spiritual formation is becoming like Jesus for the sake of others”. Spiritual maturity is not measured by how much we know, but how we love others. The invitation into a life of apprenticeship to Jesus is to come and die. An invitation to be with him, become like him, and do as He did. What did he do? He preached and demonstrated the gospel of the Kingdom. Teacher: Caleb Sprinkle

    When God loves your enemies | Jonah 4

    In Jonah 4, God’s call to Jonah was a kind of love towards people that don’t deserve it.  One that would cost Jonah something: releasing bitterness and contempt in his heart towards Nineveh. It was a call to love his enemies. The book ends with a question: should I not care for them? Jonah doesn't answer, so the question is for us. Can we love our enemies?

    Nineveh repents. And God does too? | Jonah 3

    In Jonah 3, we see that Jonah does the bare minimum of what God asked him to do, doesn't even mention God in his gospel presentation, goes in reluctantly and angry, and the entire city repents. What is going on here? Remember, Jonah is satirical. This passage shows 1) How little the mission of God depends on us, but it does still seem to depend on us…? and 2) God is not static. He responds to faith and repentance. He changes his mind (yup, that's what it says). Somehow, God's will of the “renewal of all things” will come to pass. Somehow, the timing of His will is determined on the work and intercession of His image bearers. And somehow, God changes his mind. Maybe we can't really understand Him like we thought we could? And maybe that's for the best? Teacher: Will Solomon Text: Jonah 3 ** Sorry for the audio quality

    Jonah's "prayer" | Jonah 2

    In Jonah 2, we wrestled with the reality that Jonah may have been just paying lip service; not really repentant of his tribalism and racism and disobedience. And while the author is not clear, in the context of the entire book, it would seem Jonah is simply regurgitating (no pun intended) Scripture. Especially when you juxtapose his story with Jesus' similar storm stories in the gospels. It seems the author is leaving us with a question to ponder for ourselves: In our prayer life, are we reluctantly paying lip service? Or as the maxim goes: “going through the motions”? Or is there earnest struggle, honesty, and ultimately trust, that is grounded in a real relationship with Jesus? Teacher: Brittni Ratliff Text: Jonah 2

    Jonah lost the plot | Jonah 1

    Jonah 1 is a sobering passage because he is depicted as a human who is fully bought into the serpents lie — you don’t need God.  In fact, you’re better off without him.  You can have the life you want without God.Jonah has lost the plot.  He has heard the screams of Nineveh, and chooses to run the other way.  Instead of partnering with God to put the world to rights, he descends further and further into madness.  And a deformation takes place in his soul.Teacher: Caleb SprinkleText: Jonah 1

    Relearning the Scroll of Jonah

    Jonah has long been misunderstood as the focus is put more on Jonah being swallowed by a great fish. Because of this, a fight has broken out within the church over 1) did this actually happen, 2) if you don’t believe it happened as it is laid out, then you don’t believe in the authority of the Bible. This is the wrong starting place. If we focus on the things the author chooses not to focus on, then we miss the entire point of this beautifully crafted, satirical, literary masterpiece.Teacher: Caleb SprinkleText: Jonah 1.1-3••••••Music: Replay by Qlowdy https://soundcloud.com/qlowdymusicLicense: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://audiolibrary.com.co/qlowdy/replayMusic promoted by Audio Library: https://youtu.be/Ggm961-u__8

    Scripture as Communal Literature

    In contemporary Western Christian culture, most people engage the Bible by themselves. Typically referred to as “quiet time,” there is richness and beauty to be gained from a time of personal reflection on the Scriptures. However, that method has not been the norm throughout most of Church history. For the majority of Church history, people heard the Scriptures read aloud in a group or saw Bibles displayed graphically in their churches.Reading the Scriptures alone is beautiful, but the Bible is aimed at shaping and organizing a community of Jesus followers, of kingdom people, to put on display the wisdom and love of God in real, practical, and powerful ways. It was designed to help communities of people to see the world a certain way and to live in the world a certain way. Teacher: Caleb Sprinkle Text: Various

    Study Scripture

    The Bible is not a book; it’s a library. And it was written thousands of years ago, in three different languages, by dozens of different authors and in multiple genres of literature. As you would expect, it can be very hard to understand at times, and we can easily get lost or turned around as we work through it. But by reading the teachings of Jesus, it becomes clear that if we misunderstand Scripture it can do great damage to our souls and society. Jesus himself spent a lot of time correcting common misreadings of Scripture. But the reverse is also true: If we understand what thelibrary of Scripture is saying to us, it can enlarge and enrich our lives in profound ways. But for that to happen, we need study.
