This summer Iron Works Church is reading ‘The Art of Neighboring’ together. It is so easy to say, ‘I love my neighbor,’ but in truth we really mean that we love those who look, talk, and act like us. One of the hardest challenges we face is to love those who live right next door to us. As we read this book together, I am going to be interviewing various friends, pastors, and practitioners whom we can learn a lot from and then putting those interviews up on our podcast. 

For our inaugural episode, I sat down with Pastor Tom Hudzina of Liberti Church Newtown Square. He’s a friend, a neighbor, and a fellow West Chester resident. Check it out. 

Stories of the Kingdom 1

Jesus started his ministry by saying, "repent and be baptized, for the kingdom of God is here." That was a loaded thing to say. Every Jew longed for the kingdom of God to come, but Jesus had a different idea of what that looked like. When he taught on the kingdom, he did not give a lecture or a sermon, he told stories. The kingdom is like.... a farmer, a judge, a baker, and so on. Jesus wants to give us eyes to see how is reign has come. But it all starts with the Parable of the Sower.
