Thread #69 Preaching Christ
Is it possible that Jesus may be one of the ways to reach God but that if people are sincere enough God will recognize their efforts and that way will lead to Him also? The early church was crystal clear on the doctrine of Christ. They knew who Jesus was and did not waver in their presentation of his unique position as the God/Man. Listen to this week’s Thread and strengthen your grip on Christ.

Thread #68 The Big Picture
It seems like the church in many places today has gone off message. Or maybe it is better to say that we have lost our core message from God and are scrambling around to find something that will appeal to the world and make them like us. Personal happiness, healthy marriages, success in life–all these are important things but are just an extension of the general “me-focus” that has poisoned the world anyway. What was the core message of the ancient Christian movement? That message cut through all the clutter and caused even emperors to sit back and listen.

Thread #62: Acts: Returning to the prototype of the Church
Big Thread News! We now have a Facebook group. And… a flashy new app in theAndroid Marketplace. It gives access to all Thread podcasts and the ability to rate, comment and post directly via Twitter, FB and email. Try it out if you have an Android phone.
Our new study , the book of Acts is important because it gives us a journal of the earliest attempt to live out the teachings of Jesus–the prototype. This group understood Christ’s teachings the best because they actually knew him and had heard him teach in person. I am certain this has happened in Christianity. On the one hand we have the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus recorded in the gospels. On the other hand we have a thing called Christianity which is the combination of the religion about Jesus plus culture. It exists in Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic, Protestant, Evangelical and Pentecostal versions. You have Mennonites and the Amish. Monks and Priests. Temples and churches worshipping in gymnasiums. Each will give you their defense of why their version is correct. What I want to make certain is that I am following the way of Jesus. As hard as it is to do, I want to try to strip away what has grown to be Christianity and get back to the original germ of the movement.

Thread #19: Transfer of Authority
For the first year Jesus did all the ministry. He preached, healed the sick and cast out the demons. He faced all contrary people and reasoned with them in open debate. Then in the second year he turned to the disciples and said to them, “Now, you do it.” I’m sure they were shocked and afraid at the prospect of attempting such a thing, but Jesus gave them his healing power and told them what sermon to preach and sent them to do it–and the results multiplied. Now they could be in six villages each day instead of one. Their impact was so great that even King Herod heard about them. That’s what happens when ministry is multiplied versus just adding converts. Jesus will make you competent to do His ministry. This Thread deals with entering Christ’s ministry.

Thread #10: The Painful Dance Between the Old and the New
In even the best of circumstances there is a painful and awkward dance between those pioneers who built an institution or a social fabric and the new wave that has fresh ideas and a drive to lead the group in new directions. Jesus discusses old and new wineskins in our lesson today.

Thread Episode 2: True Disciples May Have to Suffer
Hi! Here’s the second installment in our weekly Thread podcast. Check here every Tuesday at 9AM for the latest episode or subscribe through ITunes. This one shows how Mark’s gospel has a hard-core message: true disciples must expect resistance as they live out and declare the teachings of Jesus. The greatest resistance will probably come from inside of us as we attempt to avoid dying to ourselves so Christ can be born in us. Let God purify you, my friend, even if it means pain, sacrifice and embarrassment for a little while. It’s worth it in the long run! Good meat for serious believers.
