THE GATHERING (A.K.A. Sunday School)
Philippians 1:9 (NLT) I pray that your love for each other will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding.
Here's the CT: Love thrives in a faith community when group activities encouraging the development of relational knowledge and all kinds of moral understanding are penetrated with this love.
Thriving love happens when the members of a faith community really know Jesus--as in intimate relationship, not as in mere head knowledge. Head knowledge may get good grades, but the only thing that saves us and makes us like Jesus is hanging out with him--loving him. You know how when you hang out with someone for a while you start using some of the same words and liking some of the same things? Well, the same thing happens when we hang out with Jesus. We know him--like a best friend, and, yes, like a lover (scandalous I know, but I didn't write the bible--just read Hosea to get God's view). When we know him intimately, we will begin to look like him, think like him, and act like him. How cool is that?
The question we deal with next: Choosing what is excellent.
Philippians 1:10 (NLT) For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until Christ returns.

PLAIN WRAP UPDATE:
Plain wRap is back. Meet at 5 pm at the Rice abode. We'll be taking a hard look at YAM in light of biblical principles from Philippians 1:9-11.
Here's the basics:
The prayer: thriving love (1:9a)
The place where thriving love grows: relational knowledge and moral understanding (1:9b)
The purpose of thriving love: the ability to intentionally choose what is excellent (1:10
The result of thriving love: Jesus' righteousness oozing out in our actions (1:11)
Think about this: If YAM were to look like this, what WOULD it look like?
