You’ve Got Mail by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will take an overview of the church in Ephesus to better understand the church dynamics and the occasion for Paul’s letter. Who were the Ephesians, what was church like for them, and how can we find ourselves in their shoes as well? This will help set us up for the rest of our series and give us a clearer picture of our own church relationships.
Why We Need Community – Part 1
In our world of hyper-connectivity with Facebook,Twitter, and other social media, most people are still isolated. They mistakenly think that observing each other’s lives from smart phones and computer screens is living in community. Nothing can be further from the truth. Neither can any amount of bible study and prayer take the place of the human touch.
Bottom line: God never intended for us to live detached from each other. Christian life was always meant to be lived in community. The reason even Christians seem to be making bad and random decisions is because there is no accountability.
