The Teacher

We’re nearing the end of our ‘Year of Biblical Literacy.’ It’s been an incredible — albeit challenging — year delving into the Scriptures to discover who God is, what He’s done, who that makes us, and then what we’re called to do. This second-to-last mini-series will explore ‘The Character of Christ’ and for Week 1, we talked about Christ ‘The Teacher.’ Daniel said that, “a huge part of our problem with following Jesus is often that we’re trying to be a better version of ourselves rather than a more accurate reflection of Him.“ If and when we see Christ as our Teacher (and Lord), we will yearn to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. The Biblical Truth that we wanted everyone to walk away with was: The only true Christianity is one where people become disciples of Jesus Christ — Fully submitting every area of their lives to His empowering presence and lordship and teaching others to do the same.

Like thousands of churches worldwide, this global pandemic has forced us to be creative in our response — both in terms of how we gather and how we serve our community. Though we believe the normative pattern established in Scripture for community anticipates embodied presence of the Gathered Church, there are certain times where that’s not as safe. We find ourselves in such a time and are thankful to be able to leverage the digital landscape to remain faithful to plugging into community. This week’s Gathering came by way of smaller House Gatherings (following local, state, and federal guidelines) via Zoom. We’d love for you to join us next week!
