September 26, 2021- Acts 2:42-47 - Doing What Jesus Did

In this final week of discussing Acts 2:42-47, we see that as history's first church grows into Spirit-led kingdom life, "the Lord added to their number daily those who are being saved". "The life and power of the Spirit for Christ in the believing community radiates the light of the kingdom, and thus draws people out from darkness" (Goheen and Bartholomew). We close by discussing three commitments Salt+Light is invited into, during the 2021-22 school year.

September 12, 2021 - Acts 2:42-47 - Being With Jesus

As we enter into the first Fall together as a church family, we're zooming in on "who we are and what we do." This first week draw us back to the starting point of our church, & our collective life in Christ: “Being with Jesus.” We see in Acts 2:42, things that the early church devoted themselves to, in order to experience life in the Kingdom, by the Spirit. That “devotion” is the key to these things -- and God's devotion to us is what leads us to our devotion to him and others.

September 19, 2021 - Acts 2:42-47 - Becoming Like Jesus

In our continued glimpse into God’s first church in Acts 2, we keep considering who we are in Christ, together, who God calls his church to be, and what God’s Spirit empowers his church to do. This second week helps us see the life of sacrifice & service, as spiritual siblings take responsibility for each other’s discipleship, needs, & lives. In ways described in these and other verses, Salt+Light has a pattern to become like Jesus.

August 29, 2021 - Psalm 33

After a summer of considering "the truest story in the world," we revisited our role in the story through a tangible lens. We see from Psalm 33 God's heart for mission. Then various folks in Salt & Light community share some ways they pursue displaying & declaring the good news of Jesus, in different ways, needs, & areas of our city & world.

August 22, 2021 - Revelations 21-22: Restoration

One day King Jesus will return to finally and fully make the world the way it is supposed to be. He will bring justice, healing and wholeness. There will be no more tears, pain, sickness, brokenness, or death. Those who have declared allegiance to Jesus as King and by faith depended on him for salvation will forever enjoy His presence, but those who chose to rely on themselves and false saviors will be forever separated from his good reign. We pray for this day to come quickly!

August 15, 2021 - Acts 1-2: Church

The resurrected Jesus sent His Spirit to empower His followers to demonstrate and declare the good news that God was restoring the world and that Jesus is King! He alone is able to save and bring the peace we all so desperately desire. People are now invited to give their allegiance to Jesus & live according to His Story. Forgiveness, hope, and salvation are possible because of Jesus. This is the church, the act of the story we find ourselves in today.

August 8, 2021 - Act 4: Redemption

When all seemed lost, God was faithful to His promise. Jesus, God’s own Son, came to be the promised deliverer and perfectly obeyed the Father. The Kingdom had come near. But the people rebelled against Jesus and murdered Him on a cross. When Jesus was killed he took on the curse of creation and bore the burden of people’s sin. He then accomplished victory over all evil through His resurrection! Restoration had begun, new creation was here and Jesus was the true and risen King!

July 18, 2021 - Act 2: Rebellion

The Truest Story Ever Told - Act 2: Rebellion. Discussion on Genesis 3 and 11.
The first people rebelled against God’s good reign. They decided God was holding back good things from them and wanted to decide for themselves what was right and wrong. The result was that human sin entered God’s good creation and all creation came under a curse. Everything was affected by this rebellion.
