It’s a uniquely beautiful thing to ‘wait’ and ‘hope’ when we remember that that for which we wait is already ours and the hope that holds us together is rooted in assurance, not a wish. ‘It is FINISHED’ is both an accomplished act and an encounter unveiled one revelation after another. #advent
He by whom and for whom all things have been made has filled all things with Himself. In so doing, He is not the reason for this season alone, but for all of the seasons that ever have been or ever will be!
🚨 ON SALE NOW! 🚨 Free to Gather: At the Table of Grace From TWS Publishing What if church was never meant to be a where, but a who? In this heartfelt exploration of ekklesia, nineteen voices come together to share their experiences of gathering as His beloved. Through these stories, youll discover the church as she truly is—a living, breathing reflection of the Triune God, a family of beloved sons and daughters returning to Loves table of grace. Beyond buildings and programs, these authors invite you into a sacred space of authentic community—where acceptance leads to freedom, every face reflects Love, and grace makes room for all. Whether in living rooms, digital spaces, coffee shops, or traditional sanctuaries, they paint a picture of gathering that flows from union, not obligation. For those questioning old paradigms, healing from past wounds, or simply longing to experience church as she was always meant to be, these stories will awaken you to the joy of freely gathering at Loves table of grace. Foreword by Catherine Toon Introduction by Brannon Nix Contributing Authors: Malcolm Smith Don Keathley David Hewitt Jamie Englehart Bill Vanderbush Cory Rice John Land Rod Williams Matt Spinks Keith Stanton Terry Heiss Bill Winn Davina Winn Dr. Matt Pandel Jason Clark Derek Turner Dale Hill Mike Zenker Julie Frantz Join these nineteen influential voices as they share their personal journeys and insights into experiencing church as a living, breathing community rather than just a physical location. This collaborative work brings together diverse perspectives united by a common vision: rediscovering the true essence of ekklesia as a family gathered at Loves table of grace.
The Church — the gathered assembling of those awakening to their in-Christ identity — is a living organism, ever-conforming to a clearer, truer image of He who is the firstborn among many brethren. As such, while she is INFORMED by her history, she is neither LIMITED nor DEFINED by it. We benefit immensely by engaging our brethren who preceded us on this amazing journey of unveiled discovery, through their writings, examples, and legacies more broadly. What the Creed calls the ‘communion of the saints’, the ekklesia, as participants of the divine nature rooted in the I AM who supersedes all time and space, is not bound to the here and now, but extends beyond the veil of physical death, the definition of what it means for all things to be held together by Christ Jesus. And yet her story continues, ebbing and flowing, twisting and turning, reforming while remaining eternally tethered to her Head. The early church has much to teach us, no doubt. We need look no further than the abusive doctrines and atonement theories succeeding her to discover the risks of ignoring our shared past. And yet, through the miracle of ongoing revelation, we have much to teach the early church too.

Stuart the manager of trinityinyou.com and a board member of Perichoresis Australia. He is passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ especially how it was understood by the ancient church. Before becoming a Christian, Mr. Johnson was a fanatical atheist. He had a mysterious encounter that he could not explain away and, at first, found much of Christianity very confusing. With the help of close friends, he found the answers he was looking for in Trinitarian theology which led him to the ancient church fathers. He now believe s we should endeavour to remain faithful to the very same gospel as was taught by the apostles and not follow after novelties. He says, “In doing so, we find Jesus Christ to be far bigger and far more powerful in His love than we could ever imagine. I hope I can share insights that will be valuable to your journey and the overall mission of taking this good news to the world.”
