St. John’s Bible: Life in Community

Gospel Life Acts 20:7-12 Andrew Bolger

Gospel life comes as allow others and ourselves to patiently grow by living life together and engaging the death around us.

Life Together On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers to share in the Lord’s Supper. Paul was preaching to them, and since he was leaving the next day, he kept talking until midnight

Word and Table

St. John’s Bible: Life in Community

Jim Wallis The greatest need in our time is not simply kerygma, the preaching of the gospel; nor diakonia, service on behalf of justice; nor for charisma, the experience of the Spirit’s gifts; nor even propheteia, the challenging of the king. The greatest need of our time is for koinonia, the community simply to be the church, to love one another, and to offer our lives for the sake of the world.

The community of faith incarnates a whole new order, offers a visible and concrete alternative, and issues a basic challenge to the world as it is. The church must be called to be the church to be the church, to rebuild the kind of community that gives substance to the claims of faith.

Patience …he kept talking until midnight. The upstairs room where we met was lighted with many flickering lamps. As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below…Then they all went back upstairs, shared in the Lord’s Supper, and ate together. Paul continued talking to them until dawn, and then he left.

Paul was preaching to them, since he was leaving the next day…

Engaging Death He fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below. Paul went down, bent over him, and took him into his arms. “Don’t worry,” he said, “he’s alive!”

Don’t worry. There’s life in him…
