Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 10/13/24 by Pastor Steve Shields.







The zeitgeist is the spirit of the age which is the pattern of this world. When you find yourself asking "What is wrong with people?" or "What is wrong with this world?" you'll likely find the answer by identifying the zeitgeist that is hiding and normalizing evil.















We need to be aware of the zeitgeist. The zeitgeist appears to change- but does it? The spirit of the age is driven spiritually. It is important to recognize the spirit of the age. The zeitgeist turns people away from God and away from one another.







We do things together to help one another remember ourselves and to remember our context. Together we help each other remember that we are Christ's, and to remember that we are aliens in this world.







We do things together to be deeply rooted in the truth, and to help us through the storms that are ahead.







We do things together to do the work of the ministry as demonstrated by Jesus in Matthew 16:24 .







What does doing everything together look like? Take the good and the bad honestly. Push one another! Work with one another. Never do a ministry alone that you can do with a friend. Learn together. Worship together.
