Large Group#9: When the Church Was a Family

The title comes from a book Tim read that talks about the Church in the New Testament.


We talked mostly about: what it meant to be a family two thousand years ago, and therefore what are the implications of calling the church a family (These views turn out to be quite different from how we perceive family in our modern American culture!). And how do we apply these principles in our lives, in CCF, etc.


I was going to post my own notes, but Tim's are more coherent, so I'm posting his (with some edits). Read on for more! (also, if you scroll all the way down, I got some more notes on our discussion afterwards.

Large Group#8: Spiritual Warfare, part two

Monday, 2012, May 21

Last Monday we wrapped up our discussion on spiritual warfare. Jonathan and Peter B shared about the armor of God (super important and helpful!), some of their personal experiences with matters of the spiritual kind, and some practical advice on discernment and supporting those who are more sensitive to spiritual things. We had an hour of Q&A after learning about armor of God.

In the last half-hour, we talked about the death that occurred last Friday.

Large Group #7: Spiritual Warfare, Part One

Last night, we watched a series of clips from a lengthy lecture that Pastor Mark Driscoll gave to leaders in his church, Mars Hill Church. Next time, we'll hear from two of our own, a current and former CCF President (Peter Buhler and Jonathan Gardner) about their experiences and understanding, but I used these clips to prime the crowd and contextualize the discussion. Read more for links to the clips.
