One of the interesting observations around the COVID-19 pandemic included the question: Who is the church without a typical Sunday gathering? How could the church fulfill God's vision without one of its expected and integral expressions? In Ephesians 2, members of the church are described as unique masterpieces mobilized to plant God’s goodness through the engagement of good works. With this in mind, what happens when “Sundays" inadvertently become the church's end goal? In this message, T.D. Davis (co-lead pastor) encourages us that our collective callings are a reminder that Jesus empowers people to accomplish something beyond the limited boundaries of centralization.

Have you ever experienced a season where life felt like you were just “going through the motions”? In Ephesians 5, Paul identifies this posture of “sleepiness” as a major threat to our spiritual life in the way it minimizes the unique opportunities our lives afford us each day. Rather than coasting through life and passively waiting for more direction, what would it mean if we chose to legitimately own the mission of God where we live, work, learn, or play?

Guest teacher, Jon Ritner, breaks down the five core functions that every local church must express in order to display the fullness of Jesus in the world.

And by God’s grace, we all get a gift to share with the world..so lets open them up together.
