Unity

This summer we as the body of Kaleo we have decided to spend the next couples months to focus on, Unity.

Unity has easily become one of those topics in life and especially in the Christian sphere that we tend to know alot about...
It's kinda like we know, "yeah, we are suppose to have unity" ... but really, what does that look like?
And can you ever really be the church without practicing unity?
And how do we practice unity?

This summer our 'goal' as a local church family is to put some flesh on the term Unity.
This week we began meeting at 7:00am on Tuesday mornings to share life together in simple ways... whether that is updating each other on what in the world's going on, or sharing prayer together, or sharing a pastry together...

It may not seem like a huge step, but you just can't leap into unity. It's a step by step kind of thing.

All that to say...
You are invited to be a part of this journey and join us every Tuesday this summer at 7am at the Flatrock Cafe...
(2624 Nolensville Pike, Nashville, TN 37211)


We've all done alot talking about Unity.. what does it mean to take a piece of your time and life to practice some..



Acts 2:42-47
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayers. Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles. Now all the believers were together and had everything in common. So they sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need. And every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.

Lord willing and the creek don't rise

It's amazing to witness such tremendous flooding. Apparently there have been all kinds of flooding 'records' being broken with the storm that came this weekend. Now as I get out this morning and drive around a little, and as more of the pictures begin to surface of all the damage that has been done, it's astonishing.

Nashville is really one of those cities that just doesn't do natural 'disasters' very well. Because in reality there hasn't been alot of those kinds of problems here in the recent past. That saying it's always interesting to see how people will react when something like massive flooding happens.

It's almost like you begin to see different groups of people popping up...
There's those who look at something like this as an opportunity to make some money... offering their paid services to help clean up the damage. Then there's the other side who begins to look for opportunities to volunteer... to coordinate a plan and organize a team to help the big needs around them. Also, there are those who amazingly are just apathetic to it all... if it doesn't effect them then all is well.. and there's no reason why they should help those around them even if they are able, because 'what did they ever do for me.' And then there are those who are simply good neighbors...they are the people who aren't out to save the world, but just by being who they are they find themselves carrying the burdens of and lending hands to those who live next door.



Not saying there's not a time to make money, or a time to do big good things in your community, But maybe where we find heaven breaking into earth the most... is when we as neighbors, as the man or woman who just lives next door, can act out of simple neighborly love.
