You can ask THAT in church, can you?

I have a three-week series to preach/facilitate/meander through after Easter and am thinking about doing a series on "You can't ask THAT . . ."

  • . . . things you re not supposed to talk about in church
  • . . . where faith and life converge
  • . . . so of course we will
  • . . . name the elephant/s in the room

Now of course some will be contextual to MBCC, but if you had to pick a question or two on which the service could be focused, what would you ask?

Some primers

  • What would Jesus do about . . .
  • What does the Bible say about . . .
  • Why does . . .
  • What would happen if . . .
  • How come the church . . .

Thanks in advance.

yeah..........no idea how that posted 3 times.

Who let the dogs out?

Seriously, though, one of my questions would be "where does our theology come from?" or "what is our theological lineage?". it would be fun to explore how you got to where you are at MBCC today through the people of the past.

A Friend of mine, a pastor from up in Oregon, recently started a sermon series called, "Are we really going to talk about...?" http://www.greggsgambles.com/2008/01/08/are-we-really-going-to-talk-about/

Things like hell, and environmentalism, and communion. Check it out.

Robin. Thanks, I'll check it out! Hope you are well and enjoying this awesome SF Sunshine!

For Thought

  • Quote "Peace"
    “Peace it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
  • Benediction
    Thank to all who have asked for this. This is a compilation of many different benedictions that I have heard throughout the years, no originality claimed, just some great opportunities to share it.

    Go forth into the world
    With compassion and justice in your heart
    Give voice to the silent
    Give strength to the weak
    See one another
    Hear one another
    Care for one another
    And love one another
    It's all that easy
    And it's all that hard

    Now may the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
    The love of God
    And the power of the Holy Spirit
    Be with us all, now and forever more
    AMEN
