When we look at the early Church we see that the Apostles spending significant time with Jesus caused them to build His Church in a specific way. This way of life together wasn't a new plan to build a thriving "church". They seemingly took the values that were important to Jesus while He was with them on the earth and lived them out daily with others. The result? A sense of awe and wonder and God adding to their number daily!
If we believe this to be true, then we must also believe Jesus has a desire for what the Church should look like. This model, the first-century church, produced transformed people who were together devoted to a specific way of life.
We see that following Jesus and being a part of the first-century Church cost them everything. Are we willing to pay the price no matter the cost to truly become the people that Jesus desires to have for Himself? He is worthy!

Frankie guides us through the timeless desire of the Lord to have a people who willingly choose Him out of love and obedience. From the dawn of humanity, there's been a narrative of straying from the path the Lord laid out for us. Throughout the Hebrew Bible, we witness this recurring theme of people consistently opting for alternatives to God's ways.
But amidst this cycle, a pivotal moment occurs with the revelation of Jesus as the prototype human. He becomes the beacon of hope, embodying the ultimate act of choosing complete obedience to the Lord out of profound love for the Father.
In light of this, we're presented with an invitation from God—to cultivate a reverent awe for Him and to shape our lives around the example of Jesus, living in loving obedience. It's a journey of growth and transformation, one where we align ourselves with the divine will and find fulfillment in walking closely with our Creator. Join us as we explore this profound invitation to live in harmony with the heart of God.

In this enriching episode, we explore the profound theme of CHRIST as our unique GOAL, highlighting prayer as a vital resource that should shape our lives.
We reflect on biblical offerings like the Sin Offering, Trespass Offering, and Burnt Offering, emphasizing a life of sacrifice as the reasonable response to God's extravagant grace.
In Genesis 18:19, we recognize Abraham's pivotal role in God's redemptive plan. Abraham's obedience and stewardship serve as a pattern to be considered, with Christ as his ultimate goal.
We underscore Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham and encourage listeners to emulate a faithful walk with God by making Christ the center of their lives.

We had the joy of hearing from our dear friend Scott Volk as he taught on some of the defining characteristics of the Church.
We were challenged to be a people that are supernaturally unified, irresistibly hospitable, and radically generous!
May we be a people who sow our lives into becoming the Church that brings King Jesus great glory!

Domestication can be understood in terms of taking something wild and taming it; being conformed to something familiar and acceptable; the act or process of adapting a plant to cultivation or converting it to household use.
In our most recent Corporate Gathering for our churches, Michael shared from Numbers 11:1-6.
Verse by verse, commentary was given to highlight a few points that were emphasized—
- Immaturity in Adversity
- Adversity Awakened an Appetite for the “things that were…”
- Lack of Discerning led to Compromising
- The Issue of Unconditional Love
The Lord desires a people that are free, whole and healthy. A mature people, transformed by the power of His love, that will consistently remain under His leadership. These people are witnesses, evidences of His faithfulness, and testimonies of His power.

It was a great joy to once again have our friend David Popovici come and share the word of the Lord with the work. We are grateful for his consistent voice and investment in us as people.
As he ministered, there was a clear reminder that Jesus' desire is to build a house for Himself and a call to partner with Him in His ways to participate in the establishing of this house in our generation.
Jesus is not looking for people to attempt to build His house according to the wisdom of men or culture. He is searching out the ones who would be willing to give their lives to the redeeming of the those that can add nothing to them.
The Lord choses the canvas of the nobodies, the disenfranchised, and the marginalized to reveal the fulness of the beauty of Jesus.
Though it may cost everything, may the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!

We had the privilege of having Bob Gladstone come and share with the work on the topic of Biblical wisdom and knowledge.
Having God’s wisdom and intimately knowing Him will help us have minds that are firmly set on Him and His ways.
This mindset will allow us to endure suffering of all types which do not compare to the glory that will be revealed.

We had a friend of the house come and share with our church for our most recent Corporate Gathering. The "details" of this individual are being kept anonymous in order to preserve his request. We honor this man of God, and consider it a joy to be knit together.
The subject matter is accusation.
In this word, accusation is considered in a variety of ways-
1. Accusation against self
2. Accusation against God
3. Accusation against others
The answer to exposing and conquering accusation is the grace of God. The grace of God is dynamic and powerful. We must encounter the affection of God in our direction in order to get free of accusation.
This is a word that should be listened to a few times in order to fully glean all the Lord reveals.
Enjoy!
We are a people for Him, a house for Him.
In pursuit of a shared way of life where God is uniquely present.
