Under Construction 3

The stated mission of Community Life Church is that we love God, we love our neighbor and we connect people to Jesus. Our mission is the central focus in every aspect of church leadership and decision-making. With a heart to connect people to Jesus, we lean into the writings of the Apostle Paul to find clarity.

Romans <br>10 contains some of the most quoted scripture in the New Testament regarding salvation. These verses point to our core belief that salvation comes by faith. Paul follows this truth with the understanding that it is our responsibility, after becoming believers, to share our faith by carrying the good news of Jesus Christ to all the world. Since we are all still “under construction”, focus on this scripture strengthens one of the most fundamental aspects of our faith and enhances our ability to share the Gospel message with others.

Under Construction 1

The early church set the standard for what a true community should look like. In Acts 2, the writer Luke gives us a beautiful snapshot of what the early church looked like. The early church ate together, worshiped together, fed one another and served wherever there was need. Luke’s description causes us to consider how we are doing in our communities of faith today.

In this first message, we will study the early church and discuss how the Holy Spirit connected believers around the areas of gathering, grouping, giving and serving.

Most of us believe that if the Apostle Paul were still alive today, he would send us a letter. The mere idea of considering what he would write causes us to take an honest assessment and consider making adjustments. The good news is that individually and corporately, we are all under construction.

In this series, we will explore the life of the early church as described by Luke in Acts 2. The early church forged life around a spirit-led community that ultimately became the launching pad for changing the world. How are we similar, how are we different and what guidance does scripture offer to help us navigate the construction of life going forward?

Paul’s Missionary Journey 8

This week, we conclude our Paul's Missionary Journey Series and study how he is transferred as a prisoner to Rome to await his appeal to Caesar. Along the way, Paul turns calamity and captivity into courageous opportunities to share the Gospel at an unscheduled stop and under house arrest in Rome as he obediently takes the next step in faith.
