Sermons on Acts
#2 Be a Good Neighbor
In this message, Pastor T. C. approaches the second way to be Christian (Be a Good Neighbor) from the standpoint of engaging with politics. To be a good neighbor, we must care about the policies that affect our neighbor’s lives and the collective well-being of society. This is what it means to seek the shalom of the city.
Hospitality
In this sermon, Pastor Osheta helps us think about the Resurrection Rhythm of Hospitality that the early church practiced and how it applies to us today.
Apostles’ Teaching
In this message, Pastor T. C. explores the first “Rhythm of Resurrection” from Acts 2: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching.” Acknowledging this passage’s potential to cause discomfort for those of us who have experienced spiritual abuse, this rhythm is principally about centering our lives around the subject of the apostles’ teaching: Jesus, and inhabiting his story. To do this we will need an on-going dialogue between those in the community who have scholarly expertise and lived experience.
Together
In this second message of the “Easter People” series (which is about practicing rhythms of resurrection), Pastor Osheta builds upon the introductory message delivered in person on Easter Sunday, by introducing the primary mode through which we practice rhythms of resurrection: Journey Groups.
