I got to speak this past weekend at Exodus Church For Bloomington and it was a lot of fun. Below you’ll see my slides if you want to click through them, and you can listen to the audio from their website here. Just click on “Royal Priesthood” by Dan Sullivan. I do some background on […]
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. […]
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 […]
Easter Vigil at St. Ben's
I leaned over to my oldest son, who was already getting sleepy (it was about 8:45 at this point) and I said, “The first reading was Genesis, the second was Exodus…” and his eyes got as big as stained-glass windows. … They were able to keep up through each of the readings, which was great, but whenever something was chanted or sung, I could watch their fingers get lost in the script.
They Did It All Wrong and God Loved It
Here is God, overlooking some blatant screw-ups during one of His most important holy days: Celebrated in the wrong month Celebrated by unprepared priests & Levites (should have only been priests that were clean) Celebrated by people that were unclean Celebrated by many people that weren’t even Jewish! Celebrated longer than God ever ordered it to be Celebrated in ways God never intended (with sacrifices from the king in addition to being from the people) Next time you are at church (if you know me, you know I’m the “you” in this sentence) and you want to gripe or be critical about the way things are being done, look at this hot mess in 2 Chronicles 30.
Notes from CFC 12/4/11
Here are my notes from the start of the “unOrthodox” series at Christian Fellowship Church yesterday.
Short Definition of the Kingdom of God
Where “On Earth as it is in Heaven” happens. I just wrote this in a BIble Study workbook to answer the question “What is the Kingdom of God?”
Equal Connections of Preachers and Waiters
In Acts 6, there begins to be a controversy over dividing up the money to care for the widows. The Greek widows aren’t getting equal care to the Jewish widows. Acts 6:2 So the twelves called the whole group of the disciples together and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word […]
Vital church life is vital
It’s only by being vitally and organically connected with other members of the body in a living way that we experience the fullness of God. -Jesus Manifesto by Frank Viola and Leonard Sweet Let us not think that we’ve cornered the market on Community with what we do on Sunday mornings.
Jesus and Forgiveness
Matthew 9:2-6 2 Just then some people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Have courage, son! Your sins are forgiven.” 3 Then some of the experts in the law said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!” 4 When Jesus saw their reaction […]
