There is a big difference between our ideal church, and the early church. The ideal church consists of materialistic wants, the desire to enjoy the time in the church, the idea of worshipping comfortably, and food. The early church consists of mainly of being together, and having fellowship with other believers. The early church was very intentional about sharing their possessions and inviting people into their homes.

Personally, I really enjoyed taking a look into the similarities and differences of the two churches. I wish I could’ve been alive during the Early Church era. 

I have really enjoyed studying Jesus’ crucifixion, and I can’t wait to continue learning about what is was like. I think the last seven words are really cool, and could  be a great inspiration for us. The last words are kind of like Jesus’ last commands for us.

This weekend, I experienced God through Mark Timmer. I go to a very old church, and for the past year and a half, we have been searching for a new pastor. We finally managed to find a suitable candidate, and this was Mark Timmer. Pastor Mark preached on Sunday, and exceeded my expectations. He was funny, relatable, and easy to understand. He talked about how God puts us through hard times, but when we go through these things, he is always with us. I look forward to seeing Pastor Mark in the future.

I saw God over the weekend through downtown Zeeland. Living in downtown Zeeland, I get to see a lot of people and families. As I long boarded and biked through the small town, I loved seeing everybody’s happy faces. With the leaves falling and all the kids running around, it was a very peaceful weekend filled with the holy spirit.
