Welcome to Session Four of our spring audio Bible study! We're studying The Gospel on the Ground, and we're so excited to join Kristi McLelland as she unpacks the life of the early church in the book of Acts and shows us that the kingdom of God is always on the move, always looking outward to bring meaning and joy to a world searching for true fulfillment and hope. 

Each week, we'll release the next teaching session, and we'll leave the audio up for all seven sessions through June 16.

In Session Four, we continue to discuss the witness of the early church in the world, the godly Kingdom of Abundance moving into an Empire of Scarcity. Members of the early church set themselves apart in the way they loved others, their refusal to worship the emperor and their willingness to lay down their lives for the kingdom of God. Kristi encourages us to follow God’s call on our lives because He alone is worthy of our worship.

Welcome to Session Three of our spring audio Bible study! We're studying The Gospel on the Ground, and we're so excited to join Kristi McLelland for the next seven weeks as she unpacks the life of the early church in the book of Acts and shows us that the kingdom of God is always on the move, always looking outward to bring meaning and joy to a world searching for true fulfillment and hope. 

Each week, we'll release the next teaching session, and we'll leave the audio up for all seven sessions through June 16.

In our study of the early church and the Book of Acts, a deeper knowledge of the Roman Empire will illuminate our understanding of the context of Scripture. In Session 3, Kristi contrasts the Roman Empire, the empire of entertainment that appeals to the worldly desires, with the Kingdom of God, a kingdom of celebration that leads to ultimate fulfillment and joy.

In Session 2, we dive into the story of Pentecost in Acts 3 as understood through a Middle Eastern Lens. Kristi expounds on the biblical metaphor comparing the kingdom of God to a mustard seed and the tenacious nature of mustard seed in Israel. She reminds us that much like a mustard seed, the kingdom of God is on the move, growing and spreading out to every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth.

Seamless has sold over 700,000 units since it was released on April 1, 2015, and seeing the impact it has had on women all over the world has been incredible and humbling for all those involved.

Starting March 27, our next online Bible study is The Gospel of John by Melissa Spoelstra! So we thought it would be fun to go back and listen to our conversation with Melissa to prepare for Easter and remember the sacrifice our Savior made. 

In this conversation, Melissa discusses the Gospel of John’s unique aspects and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the writing and filming process of the Bible study. Reflecting on how the Gospel of John has personally marked her, she encourages us all to experience the peace and hope that Jesus offers.
