::WELCOME TO RESTORATION::

Core idea

In an age that encourages us to belong to ourselves, God is forming a people who belong to each other.

We all long for deeper community, and most of us feel the gap when we read about the early church. This is a chance to look at their life together differently — not as a list of things to do more of, but as a picture of how God forms a people. Together we'll name what their practices were forming in them, get honest about what resists that in us, and ask what God is inviting each of us into so that community can actually shape who we're becoming.

• Formation

  • Definition: who this practice was making them become

  • Guiding question: "Who was this practice forming them to become?"

• Acts 4:32–37

• Acts 2:42–47

• Acts 6:1–7

• 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

• James 5:13–16

• 1 Corinthians 12:27 + 14:26

• Resistance

  • Definition: what pushes back, in us and in our age

  • Guiding question: "What — in me, and in our age — resists that formation?"

• Discipline

  • Definition: the practice that overcomes the resistance

  • Guiding question: "What is God inviting you to do so that you can be intentionally formed?"

• John 17:20–23
