Lights of the Round Table / Spirit-Prompted Church Meetings

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Steve Simms

King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table reveal a biblical way of holding church meetings.

1)  The knights set at a round table so that no one, not even the king, could be at the head of the table and everybody could be involved as equal participants.

2) The knights had committed themselves to live by a moral code known as the Code of Chivalry.  Unlike many who call themselves Christians, King Arthur’s knights put moral principles and moral commitments above their personal desires, needs, cravings, or whims.

Church shines brightly when people committed to consistently follow and obey Christ meet as lights of the round table — a body of believers gathered together without hierarchy (see Matthew 20:25-28) where the living, resurrected Jesus Christ, as Head of the church, is allowed to shine through anybody present as they freely teach and minister to one another as prompted by the Holy Spirit.

Experience Round Table Church, where ordinary people show and tell what God has done, at The Salvation Army Berry Street, 225 Berry St., Nashville, 37207 on Sunday mornings at 10:45.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
