Time…

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Tonight in our community group we discussed the question, “What does God require of our calendar?”  We talked about what the Bible says about balancing work, family, and rest.  Ironically we ran out of time before we could discuss the question of time commitments related to the church.  It was an interesting discussion and we [...]

Money

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Last night’s community group discussion revolved around two related issues - truth and spirituality.  We first viewed this video regarding Oprah Winfrey’s web seminar class (what some have called a “church”).  Our discussion led us to understand that among the many flaws of Eckhart Tolle (Oprah’s guest and teacher of the seminar) and Oprah were the foundational issues of truth [...]

Burning Questions

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Starting next week in our community group we will discuss the most burning questions you have.  But in order to do that, I need to know what your burning questions are.  It could be a question about a specific doctrine or text of Scripture, or a hot-button ethical issue, or why we do things a [...]

Monday, May 12th, 2008
