Here are my notes from September 2, 2012 at Christian Fellowship Church. I love it that the guys were fully redeemed, but they didn’t really get it fully until Jesus served them some food. Here is the video so you can watch it yourself. You can also follow @DaleBeaver or @onlinecfc on twitter.
Drawing Closer to God
No The word phobos is used in a lot of places like “They were afraid of the Jews” but in a lot of other places it is used to describe the feeling people had after an amazing miracle had just happened. … And walking in reverence for it’s husband and by being drawn near and closer to God by the Holy Spirit, the church multiplied.
The institution of the last supper
I’m thinking more and more that communion wasn’t ever intended to be what we’ve turned it into. Or what the guys in the middle ages turned it into. I’m not sure any Jewish person would refer to the institution of Passover any more than we would call Thanksgiving an institution. What if going to church […]
Jesus is Real Food
“Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real […]
Praying in Jesus' Name
John 16:25-31 v. 25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. v. 29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30 Now we can see that you […]
We Think We're All or Nothing, but We're Really Just Selfish

A Great Good Friday Passover Night
Last night we had our little Friday night get together and it was a really good time. We set up the sitting room with no furniture in it and covered the floor with korpatchas, sort of like sleeping bags that don‚Äôt open from Central Asia, to sit on. Five families all sat around in our […]

‚ÄúJesus said to them, ‚ÄúI tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real […]
Jesus Is [like] the Bread and Water of Life
I just read in the Catholic Encyclopedia that only wheat bread is allowed for communion. It specifically says NOT barley bread. Heh. How about that, with what we read that the feeding of the 5,000 was most likely barley bread?! On that same vein, it makes another comment about Jesus miraculously turning the wine into […]
