Propaganda - G.O.S.P.E.L.

Tuesday 10/22/13

So I read this fantastic article by the folks over at Lifehacker...Anyways the gist of the article is in order to have effective brainstorming or a meeting where everyone is involved and sharing ideas, you need sufficient time to ponder the question yourself.

Having a group brainstorming session isn’t wrong but it shouldn’t be thought of as a single event. Instead, group brainstorming should be considered part of a process that includes sufficient time for individual thought

In light of this article and to initiate conversation, I want to pose a question for us to ponder and talk about the next time we get together. 1 Peter 3:15 says be prepared to offer hope. Here is the scenario: you are talking to someone who is at the end of their rope. They are depressed, they feel worthless, unhappy, and unloved. Just in an overall dark place. They are a Christian but feel really far from God. How do you offer them hope? Think about it and bring it back to the group for discussion.

Additionally, if we have enough time I'd like to start talking about how the Bible fits together and reveals the story of Christ throughout. Here are the materials that we would primarily draw from.

Tuesday 10/8/13

Tuesday night 10/8/13 was our first gathering. The scripture we focused on was 2 Peter 1:3. The main idea being that everything we need to be Godly, is to know God. We said that is what we wanted to focus our time together going forward is to know God.
The text was from the new "Flame" album:
If you're interested in hearing the entire sermon you can listen to it here.

We ended with Jonathan Edwards first two resolutions: One: I will live for God. Two: If no one else does, I still will.
