CBWC Theology for the Ordinary

In our final episode of this series, we will tour hospitality from Jesus through Paul, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, and up to 3 John.

As of Acts 6:1-7, there have only been 12 witnesses, 12 workers into the fields.  Beginning with Stephen, the Lord sends more.  However, the church’s focus remains the same.

Acts 4:33-35 confirms what we've been saying all along: The Spirit produces bold witness in the apostles, and mutual care in the church.

The miracle of Pentecost is not wind, sound, fire, or tongues. It is the change that happened among the people, and we will discuss that in today's episode.

In Acts 1 Jesus works with the eleven witnesses, even though there are 120 followers in Jerusalem. He wants to make sure they're ready! One more witness is then chosen and the twelve become the new "revised people of God."

The righteous in the church sometimes have trouble with repentant but undesirable prodigals, and this hesitancy puts them at odds with the Father. We will look at the older brother's cold response in today's episode on Luke 15.

In this episode we will see how "love one another" is never exclusive, but applies to everyone, including our enemies.
 

Jesus reinstates Peter after his three-fold denial.  In this episode we will look at how Peter will demonstrate that his life truly belongs to Jesus.

God loves the world, but Jesus does not pray for the world. Rather, four times Jesus prays that we would all be one.  If the Father answers this prayer, what would that mean for the world?

Today we will be discussing Jesus' only instruction that he calls a "command."
