Anabaptist Perspectives

Bryant Martin unpacks a theology of hospitality and gives practical ways we can “extend our tables in the wilderness” to reach into a broken and hopeless world. How can hospitality be effective ministry? How can we create life-giving spaces for the world around us?

There are many different interpretations of the sacraments throughout church history. Dean Taylor takes us on a journey through what the early church believed about baptism and the eucharist (Lord’s supper) and helps us think about how their beliefs can inform our lives and churches today.

Vince Lewis completed two years of officer training followed by 24 years of being an officer in the United States Air Force. He then worked for 14 years in weapons development for the Department of Defense on projects such as the B-2 Stealth Bomber. Eventually, Vince came to a different understanding of war and saw how Christ’s followers are instead to love their enemies. Vince draws from his experiences to take us inside America’s military industrial system. The kingdoms of this world use warfare for power, dominance, and control, while Christ’s kingdom wields self-sacrificial love.

Sometimes communion services in Mennonite churches can be a time of anxiety and bring up questions about assurance of salvation. Why is that? What is a proper way to think about and prepare for communion? Verlon Miller and Marlin Sommers explain how Mennonite churches traditionally have observed communion, and how we can come to the Lord’s Supper with joy rather than fear.

Paul Lamicela makes the case that we often oversimplify the kingdom of God. He takes us on a journey through Scripture to discover a fuller picture of God’s kingdom. What did this kingdom mean to the Old Testament saints and the New Testament church? What does it mean today?
