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.

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.

Many Christians believe Sabbath is important but struggle to know what it should actually look like in everyday life. In this episode, we explore practical ways to build a rhythm of worship, relationships, recreation, and reflection that renews your soul and helps you enjoy God’s gifts.

Many Christians struggle to practice Sabbath not because they lack time, but because stopping requires trust. In this episode, we explore how God used manna in the wilderness to teach Israel dependence and how Sabbath still exposes whether our confidence rests in our productivity or in God’s provision.

Before rest was a command, it was a gift woven into creation itself. In this episode, we explore why God established the Sabbath, how rest reminds us that we are not God, and why one of the most spiritual things you may need to do this week is simply to stop and trust Him.
