My Notes from CFC, 11-4-12 Dale Beaver on Intimacy

· ·

Dale has been going through a series on the Trinity entitled “TriUnity”.

This Sunday I really noticed how much the 15 minutes before I walk into church color everything. I had my two littlest guys (ages 5&2) grabbing and screaming while I dropped them off in their class. I’m still wondering about this whole “Daddy is going to dump you off with strangers while he goes and learns about Jesus.” thing, but that is a discussion for another blog entry. Here are my notes.

Dale had some good points on what REAL intimacy is. It’s not about sex and lingerie and all of that nonsense. Like so many other things, the world has taken that word and shallowed it. Intimacy is being known as deeply and truthfully as possible. If you don’t have some brothers and sisters that you are close enough that they know you well, go find some! Pray that God would fulfill Psalm 68:6 “God sets the lonely in families.”

The other good take-away was his statement on the Trinity, “I don’t have to know it completely, but I do have to know it truthfully.” This applies to SO MANY things in Christianity. People often bail when things get too complicated or too heady. That can be ok, as long as they bail with a right understanding and not bend the words of Christ to suit their own ways. I know I’ll be using that line this week at the mission.



Dale Beaver, Mealin' With Jesus on September 9, 2012

· ·

Here are my notes from 9/9/2012 at Christian Fellowship Church. Dale Beaver is continuing his series on Mealin’ With Jesus. The funny thing about this sermon was that Dale pulled some quotes from some etiquette guide to table manners. The whole thing fit together really neat with the idea of following the host’s lead. The host is the one that provided for you, invited you, and serves you. If that isn’t a great picture of the Living Christ, I don’t know what is!

Sermon Notes from CFC 5-20-12

· ·

Here are my sermon notes from May 20, 2012.

Jeff Kinkade talked about desperate households and some of the topic involved Helicopter Parents. There were some wild stories but I couldn’t help but think about what we have in our neighborhood: Scud Missile parents.

In the early 90’s, Iraq would fire Scud missiles into Kuwait. Scud missiles were something that American media could get behind to demonize the enemy; the missiles were unpredictable, imprecise, sometimes they were duds, and very low-tech.

Scud missile parents are the same way (except of for not being low-tech). They send out their kids, not sure where they will land, what damage they will do, or if they will be stopped.

The whole thing boiled down for me in that we are all looking to avoid suffering and burrow ourselves into a very comfortable and stable form of tepid discipleship.

Sermon from CFC 4-15-12

· ·

Here are my notes from Christian Fellowship Church on April 15, 2012. The first few pages are pretty poor because I was in such a state from the 2 girls chatting like hens throughout the entire worship time, but by the time I got to page 3 I was able to focus enough to pay attention.

This is the opening sermon from the Desperate Households series, entitled Buyer’s Remorse.

Notes from Esther 6 at CFC

· ·

Here are my notes from Christian Fellowship Chuch on 2/19/12. We are still going through Esther. This week there were some really good nuggets in all different directions. You’ll see my main take-away was on the parallels between Satan & Haman. (booooo! If you listen online, Jeff asked us a few weeks ago to boo whenever he says Haman’s name. Today he had to restrict it to only when he read it in the text, because he said it too much.)
