The Book of Acts tells us that the first Christ-followers "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer" (Acts 2:41-47). As we continue to unpack all (honestly, "all" is impossible - let's just say we're trying to cover "most") of what happens in times of worship together - be it in person or united online - we get up from the table and get out our bibles for some time in "the apostles' teaching." The ancient words of all of scripture are works of art that call us deeper into who God designed and desires for us to be. The image described in 2 Timothy of God breathing them to life is an intentional link to Genesis 2 and the combination of earth and Spirit to bring about human life. That same dynamic combination of God's spirit with earth in the form of human writers brings about the living Word that points us to The Word Made Flesh. This is gonna take a few weeks too!
