Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast

If the church is unified around the person and work of Jesus Christ, then as far as the enemy is concerned, it's game on and a battle will be waged for the hearts and minds of those people. But just like a rope is stronger than a single thread, so is a unified body of believers.

People can be unified around any number of events, ideas or causes but our most basic tenet of unity in the church is Jesus Christ. As believers, we must be united around Him - His person, who He was and His work, what He did.

Unity should be at the heart of any Christian community. Brothers and sisters in Christ living in unity with one another is the glue that holds it all together... it is not enough to just be "present". Unity denotes the blessing of God...and the enemy knows it.

It was a beautiful day at Paradise Trail Lodge, a PLACE where countless people have come to be together with friends and family to enjoy and marvel at our incredible Creator and His workmanship. There is nothing quite like the view after a hike at Paradise Park, or the little waterfall at the end of Road 39. What PLACE holds special meeting and tethers you to your Creator?

The wilderness is unpredictable and uncomfortable, but God uses 'wilderness' times in our lives to speak to us. We will hear His voice, but we will also hear the voice of the enemy, trying to convince us that God cannot be trusted.

How do we engage with people when conversations are difficult, uncomfortable or deal with intensely personal subjects when our world and the culture are deeply divided from God's purpose and perspective.

We are continuing our August special speaker series. Please welcome Jeremy Waldridge, Executive Director of Pure Life Alliance, as he shares with us "The Bible and Human Sexuality".

"So God created people in His own image, God patterned them after Himself; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27

We continue in our August series, "God's Good Design: Sexuality and Gender".

Truth is a sticky word these days. Jesus said that He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. The world does not embrace Christ followers because we are not conformed to this world and its ways. Be bold and proclaim the LOVE of Christ to this world who so desperately needs Him.

"For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until He comes again." The Lord's table is a sacred and holy place and when believers in Jesus gather together around this table, they experience His mercy and His grace and His forgiveness. This is communion.
