30 years that changed the world!!

“How was Jesus able to equip a group of uneducated men and women to do the things He did, and to be like him in such a way that when he sent them out, they changed the course of human history?”

Covenant and Kingdom Covenant and Kingdom are the two central concepts of the Old and New Testaments. In covenant two become one. As we enter into covenant with God we enter into our God-intended life: all I am belongs to God and all that is His belongs to me. The Kingdom is simply the expression of the rule of the king, Jesus, in our lives and the lives of those around us. Covenant is the way in which the Bible describes and defines relationship: first our relationship with God and then our relationship with everyone else. There are 3 essential elements of covenant: Father; Identity; Obedience Kingdom is the way in which the Bible describes and defines responsibility: first our responsibility to represent (re– present) God to the people we know and then to everyone else. There are 3 essential elements of kingdom: King; Authority; Power Up In Out Developing a life style that reflects: upward relationship with God; inward relationship with fellow believers outward relationship with not yet Christians

"feeling of not belonging". Community life in Britain has weakened substantially over the past 30 years, according to research commissioned by the BBC. Analysis of census data reveals how neighbourhoods in every part of the UK have become more socially fragmented. 97% of communities in the UK have become more socially fragmented over the past three decades. "feeling of not belonging".

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. They met together… shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need… met in homes, shared their meals with great joy and generosity Acts 4:42ff Community is a place to belong… Fun… Food… Friendship… Shared resources Shared Bible study and prayer Shared vision Small enough to care and large enough to dare…
