The community: built according to the kingdom of God

We can quickly understand the subject above if we look at the way Jesus built His circles. From Jesus' perspective the spherical "method" is a key element in the life of His disciples. A key dynamic among the followers. This is what we learn from the apostles' life‑patterns as well.
Consequently, we must understand and follow his relational mindset.
We must spend more intimate time together, "swimming against" the consumerism, against the contaminated religious trends and customs in the gatherings. Here, we must understand our diagnosis. Two factors must be taken into account: The Stage effect and the constant noise of the media...
We already have enormous tools and opportunities from the Lord himself. Do we know that? Do we learn them?
He is the Everlasting (timeless) God, and He knows what is to come — He is neither desperate nor forced to counter‑react. He has various Proactive tools, numerous creative approaches and He has His mighty Spirit for the connections.
As I mentioned: Jesus has a spherical service and a spherical mission. This is the significance of the strong Christian community: vertically and horizontally.
He is the Alpha: the beginning, but also the center as beginning! His Name is: JHVH Shammah - "Gd IS there" / "dwells among us" → This was explicitly revealed in bodily form: Jesus is Immanuel - "God is with us" - and also the Message - in the new, incarnate form. (John:1)

The world around us dwells in a sea of theories, principles, TED talks and philosophical trends - but these are one way messages: stage or solution/service messages driving us right into the consumerism and the world of the entertainers.
Meanwhile, we carry a new, life‑changing message — in our bodily forms.

As we can read in the diary of Ezra - the great Restorer:
We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth
and are rebuilding the Temple
that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
Ezra 5:11
When we seek first the kingdom of God other things will be added.
We're royal priesthood – this is the perspective. (You can read more details in this page)
We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth
and are rebuilding the Temple

We are heirs

Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?
James 2:5
He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:6-7
The word became flesh — and there's no way back!

We're not under the religious law (principles) anymore. We fulfil the law through Agape Love.
Gd is love. Agape love. This love has gravity. This love gives us a radically new identity.
We are the heirs of this deep family identity.
This communion of love with the Holy Spirit is what builds intimacy in the Family. The new priesthood prepares the Throne, restoring the beauty and gravity of the Lord's Glory. This is our fantastic task! But we also have something even more wonderful!
The whole perspective in the New Testament is radically different from the functionalist, existentialist Old Testament. We are to build up the Throne as the Royal priesthood, (mentioned in 1Pt 2:9) but we are also family members around the GodHead of the Royal family. Our identity is to live as heirs in this familyu — living and acting from the position of the New Self, serving, following Christ in this mission.
..having been justified by His grace,
we may become heirs
having the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:7. NIV

Relationships between Conscience, Consciousness and Co-working

Image
Suneidesis & Sunergos — God's Wisdom for every day “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the ancient way. Psalm 139:23-24 Pre Did you know that the words "conscience" and "co-working" share the same root in ancient Greek? That small discovery opened up something much bigger for me. What connects the inner voice of conscience with the outward dynamics of community life? This article explores a striking fractal pattern hidden within two Greek words — suneidesis (conscience) and synergía (synergy, co-working) — both rooted in the same prefix syn- , "together." One shaping us inwardly, the other connecting us outwardly. The dynamic between the two is surprisingly overlooked today. Man and woman were created to live in...

The Hos 6:6

Image
series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. Hosea’s prophecy is an important key for Christianity, and we can confidently say the same for all of humanity, because the Lord Jesus Christ teaches this verse twice: Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time. Rather, He talks about His ultimate Peace Plan - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going ...

The good shepherd — the real-life example

Image
My name is Dr. Ken Bailey. It was my privilege to teach New Testament for almost 40 years across the Middle East, mostly in Arabic, and the subject we have is a continuation of our series of studies on primary images for leadership in the New Testament. We looked first at servant, (...) and we have introduced the subject of the Good Shepherd. We saw that God is the Good Shepherd. Then we looked and saw that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. We are going to take a third text that focuses on Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and then move on to see two primary texts where the Good Shepherd is applied to early Christian leadership. The pastoral image Of all of the symbols in the New Testament about leadership, this certainly has prominence, and it has prominence throughout church history. Many churches refer to the leader of the congregation as the pastor . That's a pastoral image. It is another way of saying 'he is our shepherd'. And so the text that we need to look a...
