The choices we make in how we invest ourselves (our time, our money, our energy) are not neutral. They form us. Jesus offers us the gift not only of a better end result to our lives, but also of the Way to that result: a life marked by loving and following him. The obedience Jesus says accompanies love for him is not a burden. It is the blessing of God sparing us from what Paul calls being "squeezed into the shape dictated by the present age" and instead being transformed so that we can work out the "good, acceptable, and complete" life God created us to live (Rom 12:2).<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ComchurchTeachingAndDiscussionAudio/~4/z5lVouMbdBs" height="1" width="1"/> Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:00:00 CST http://www.comchurch.com/Media/Audio/20120129_tnorvell.mp3 church, community, Kingdom, ComChurch, Community Church, Kingdom of God, love, commandments, worship, community, mission, spiritual formation, thad norvell mail@comchurch.comnoTeachings and discussions from the Sunday gatherings of Community Church in College Station, Texasmail@comchurch.comComChurch is a collection of people committed to the idea that the local church is not primarily an organization or a place, but a living, dynamic community of people devoted to one another and to the mission of Jesus in the world.

Certainly Jesus tells us that loving God completely is central to life, and expressing that love is worship. So what if it's not easy? How do we sort through what worship really is and live lives that are worshipful? Is it possible that we have unnecessarily made worship difficult for others by suggesting God demands to be worshipped from a distance?

Jesus, when asked about the divine law he himself fulfilled, said that these two instructions from God were not only the most important things he ever told us to do, but that everything else He told us to do "hangs" on them. What does that mean and how does it play out in the Church, global and local?

Consider that Jesus was responding not only to the question of who we should consider a neighbor, but also how one can inherit eternal life.

Jesus and Paul show us that 'witness' is also a noun: it's a role to be shared in the ongoing work of revelation and redemption in the Lord's harvest.

This recording captures one of those stories. One of our elders, Brock Faulkner, shares about the journey of learning that one of his best friends experienced same sex attraction in secret for many years. Out of that experience, God has prompted Brock and his wife Brittney to do something - to create space for a group long marginalized to safely share and journey through their struggles.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ComchurchTeachingAndDiscussionAudio/~4/7Hjxa2P3k1E" height="1" width="1"/> Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:00:00 CST http://www.comchurch.com/Media/Audio/2011_0424bfaulkner.mp3 church, community, Kingdom, ComChurch, Community Church, Kingdom of God, sex, sexuality, marriage, singleness, homosexual, homosexuality, holiness, freedom, same sex attraction, SSA, thad norvell, brock faulkner mail@comchurch.comnoTeachings and discussions from the Sunday gatherings of Community Church in College Station, Texasmail@comchurch.comComChurch is a collection of people committed to the idea that the local church is not primarily an organization or a place, but a living, dynamic community of people devoted to one another and to the mission of Jesus in the world.

However noble our intentions, we've too often struggled -- sometimes refused -- to deal humanly, graciously, and faithfully with real people who experience same sex attraction, with the Scriptures, or both. We can do better. We must do better.

One of the resulting implications is that unmarried adults should be giving some amount of their time and energy to finding a mate. Those tendencies also seep into other areas of life: how the Church treats singles, how we raise kids and orient them toward marriage in various ways, etc. But what does the Bible say? Is singleness in God's Kingdom supposed to be so rare? Are unmarried Christians incomplete in some way without a spouse? As usual, Jesus and Paul tend to disrupt some of our common assumptions about singleness, marriage, and life with God in the Kingdom.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ComchurchTeachingAndDiscussionAudio/~4/HjihlBjO9F0" height="1" width="1"/> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:00:00 CST http://www.comchurch.com/Media/Audio/2011_0410_tnorvell.mp3 church, community, Kingdom, ComChurch, Community Church, Kingdom of God, sex, sexuality, marriage, singleness, dating, security, holiness, freedom, pornography, same sex attraction, SSA, thad norvell mail@comchurch.comnoTeachings and discussions from the Sunday gatherings of Community Church in College Station, Texasmail@comchurch.comComChurch is a collection of people committed to the idea that the local church is not primarily an organization or a place, but a living, dynamic community of people devoted to one another and to the mission of Jesus in the world.

Really. God intends for married folks to have sex - often and well. In fact, sex between a husband and wife is the physical embodiment both of their marriage covenant and of His covenant with them, individually and together. The conversation about married sex in the culture - and often in the church - tends to misjudge just how essential and life-giving sexual health is for married folks. The Bible paints a vivid picture both of a secure, holy, and free sex life between a husband and wife. No really. It's intense.
