Well we are in the 2nd week of our new young adult ministry Eikon and the Lord is continuing to challenge, stretch, grow and draw me closer to His grand plan for His creation- specifically in our case, through a new expression of church.
Last week we launched the new community with a challenging look back through history at how church was run pre-Constantine and post-Constantine and the implications of both. Then we ventured into some majore cultural shifts that have taken place and that are taking place and we ended with a challenge of venturing into unknown territory to express Christ through new methods of church. (I recorded the first talk and am working on having it loaded so you can download the mp3 if you missed it)
So this week we are going to begin our journey together by studying the book of ACTS together and asking God to reveal Himself to us through the text as we explore what it looks like to be a Missional Community in Phoenix, AZ in 2008 and beyond.
I am so blessed to do this with you all and hope that through this, we will be bonded together as brothers and sisters in Christ- bonded to God as Ruler and Lord of our lives- and bonded to the world as friends of Sojourners.
May the God of creation give us wisdom, clarity, victory, failure, hope and love through His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
