May 26, 2025 Rhythm and Word - May 21, 2025
Today we turn to the story of Lydia in Acts 16:11–14.
As we think about that text, Matt Helms invites us to consider how representative Lydia is of how the church was able to grow and sustain itself as it spread in the Roman Empire. We also ponder how these stories of those in the early church speak to the importance of every member of the church being invested in the work that we are called to do.

In this podcase we turn to the story of a meeting between Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10.
As we think about that text, Matt Helms invites us to consider how Cornelius helps Peter — and us today — to realize that the church is not beholden to the way that things have always been and that the church is dynamic and always changing.

In this installment, we turn to Philip and the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26–39.
Matt Helms invites us to consider how this interaction showed openness and welcome in the early church as Philip baptized the eunuch even though the eunuch was not part of a faith community.
We also pause to ask how we might similarly welcome and embrace people where they are on their faith journeys today.
