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

November 6, 2012 by Dan Sullivan

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.

Sermon Notes from 10/14 at CFC

Here are my notes from Christian Fellowship Church on October 14, 2012. Dale Beaver was in the hotseat. Apart from my notes, you don’t get a lot of the cool stories Dale told about his grandma that passed away last week. Check out the video online if you can. I’ll update this post with the link when it’s live.

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

September 12, 2012 by Dan Sullivan

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!

I love it that the guys were fully redeemed, but they didn’t really get it fully until Jesus served them some food.

Sermon Notes from CFC 5-20-12

June 9, 2012 by Dan Sullivan

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.

If you want to see it for yourself, here is the whole sermon video:
