The New Church Normal

August 19, 2020

Now that we have made it through the first half of 2020, people are constantly asking – when will we get back to normal? I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think we are going to return to it, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing for your life, family, or church. It’s time to go the 2nd mile in the new church normal.

Spiritual disciplines are not isolated tasks to accomplish but life-giving rhythms that keep us abiding in Christ through every season of life. In this episode, we’ll see how Scripture, prayer, worship, Sabbath, and fasting work together to shape a steady, faithful walk with Jesus that bears lasting fruit.

Deep Christian friendships aren’t discovered overnight; they’re built through consistent time, intentional investment, and a shared commitment to following Jesus together. In this episode, we’ll explore why meaningful community can’t be microwaved and how simple, faithful steps can lead to the lifelong relationships God designed His church to enjoy.

Jesus said the world would recognize His disciples not simply by what they believe, but by the way they love one another. Genuine Christian fellowship is displayed through everyday acts of love, forgiveness, burden-bearing, and encouragement that make the gospel visible to a watching world.

Biblical fellowship is far more than attending church or enjoying a meal together; it is sharing life together because we share Christ together. As the early church devoted themselves to God’s Word, one another, hospitality, and prayer, they became the kind of community through which God displayed His grace and grew His church.

This episode explores why the Christian life was never meant to be lived in isolation and how God uses the local church to strengthen, encourage, and mature His people. Through Hebrews 10:19-25, we discover that biblical fellowship is far more than attending a service; it is intentionally helping one another follow Jesus faithfully.

Sabbath rarely disappears because of bad priorities; it usually gets crowded out by good ones. In this episode, we explore why busyness is one of the greatest threats to spiritual health and how to intentionally protect the rest God designed for your good and His glory.
