Church & the Kingdom of God: Part 6: Meeting in Homes

Pastor Keith closes the series on the Church and the Kingdom by considering how one of the key distinctives that set the early church apart was the practice of meeting in each others' homes.

Church & the Kingdom of God: Part 5: Devotion – The Apostles’ Teaching & Prayer

This Sunday, Pastor Keith turns our attention to the first two activities of the church, of these main four: devoting ourselves to the Apostles’ teachings, prayer, breaking bread in one another’s homes, and meeting as many needs as possible.

Church & the Kingdom of God – Part 4: Unity & Reverence

Pastor Keith focuses in on his teaching about unity in the church and honouring one another. What do you think Paul's point is in 11.27 to eat the bread and drink the cup worthily?  Why does Paul want people to take the communion together?  What experiences of disunity have you seen in your church experience?  Where have you seen radical unity and honour in church? Take a moment to journal through this: where is God calling you to forgive people for dishonouring and creating divisions? Where is God calling you to help increase unity and honour in the church?

Church & The Kingdom of God: Part 3 – Preaching & Healing

Pastor Keith explores how preaching and healing are the two main tasks of the church by looking specifically at Paul’s metaphor of the body and how each play a role in this work as the body of Christ.  Where do you see our church working together as a body? Where does it have room to grow in unity? What are your gifts, and where are you plugging in as we seek to heal the people of Thunder Bay and proclaim to them that Jesus is Lord?

Church & the Kingdom of God – Part 2: 4 Reasons Why I Still Love the Church

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to be disillusioned with the Church - and ignoring this or denying it is just not intellectually honest. Christians have historically not done a very good job of handling this responsibility handed us by Jesus. However, the church is still worth fighting for and, in fact, there are some excellent reasons to continue to be inspired by the church, work within the church and to love the church. Steven explores 4 of these reasons that have kept him in love with the church.
