My response to the Sunday sermon and more

Living Life as an Alien and Stranger

I have been think­ing about a cou­ple Sunday’s ago ser­mon, one aspect of it any­way. When we believe that we in fact are aliens and strangers in this world, we need to act accordingly.

Change of Pace

I am going to change thing up with regards to my It’s Monday series which has the intent of try­ing to respond to the Sunday ser­mon. I have been look­ing at what I have done, at the past three weeks of ser­mon notes which I hadn’t posted or made a response to. I real­ize that

Flatland/Pics: We Are the Water

Although this ser­mon was point­edly focused on those of us who are part of Flatland Church the basic mes­sage is still valid for all Christians. Unfortunately, I pretty much lost all my notes that I took Sunday. Fortunately, you can lis­ten to the pod­cast at flatlandchurch.com Pastor Jeff taught us from Isaiah 54:2–3 [show]Isaiah 54:2–3 [2]“Enlarge

Flatland/Pics: Paradox and Paradigm

If we want to be a trans­for­ma­tion bring­ing church we must under­stand the para­dox and the par­a­digm of min­istry. The para­dox con­fuses us so we end up with the wrong par­a­digm of min­istry.

Guest Speaker: the Power of Small Things

Dive In: Platform Diving

What kind of legacy are we build­ing right now? That was the chal­lenge we were pre­sented Sunday. Will our spir­i­tual legacy be one that is for­getable or will it be one that will last gen­er­a­tions? We have been look­ing at div­ing into min­istry. So we end with plat­form div­ing. And here are my sermon notes:

Dive In: Holding Your Breath

Well, I missed a cou­ple Sundays for this series. Good stuff that I have missed. Fortunately, Pastor Jeff did a good job at sum­ma­riz­ing what I missed. To sum up so far, this series is all about get­ting involved in some sort of min­istry for Christ. It is a call to us to stop sit­ting
