    We develop gentleness in the body by balancing power and gentleness as we study God's Word, restore fallen brothers and sisters and in sharing the gospel.

    In order to find certainty in uncertain times, obey Christ as your sovereign, follow Christ as your servant, and trust Christ as your Savior.

    What a great description of the church! A weird mix of people of different generations, different personalities, different ethnic, economic, religious backgrounds, who might never hang out together— except for the fact that we all love Jesus!

    Part 1 - Introduction to a 13-part series on the origin, functioning, authority, and problems of the church of the first century; and the question of whether--or in what ways--we are to be like the earliest Christians.
