LAST TUESDAY—May 30

COLLEGE BRIEFING—September 1-4

URBANA MISSIONS CONFERENCE
—December 27-31

=============================
COLLEGIUM--Looking at the first week...

Well, we've completed a first run at 1 John 1:1-4. It was a bit of a rocky ride, being our first time out as an actual collegium. As we go along, we'll be emphasizing three things: holy worldliness, the process of studying the bible for ourselves, and what it means to be a collegium.

A collegium is a group whose members pursue shared goals while working within a framework of mutual trust and respect (Dictionary.com).

In the Sunday Collegium, mutual trust and respect means that each member...

  1. Listens
  2. Speaks
  3. Questions, and
  4. Comes prepared
Equal power and authority mean that we are...
  1. Responsible to share what we know
  2. Responsible to clarify what we do not understand
  3. Responsible to challenge what does not square up
  4. Responsible to look at process and work together to make the Collegium better
Next week, we've decided to discuss 1 John 1:1-5, giving verses 1-4 a second run and adding verse 5.

Parallel Prep Tracks:
  1. Track One: Read through 1 John over and over.
  2. Track Two: Lectio on the passage for the week, making notes on what God teaches and how he wants us to respond

Lectio Divina (Sacred Reading)

  1. Lectio--Reading, listening to the passage slowly, listening for the voice of God
  2. Meditatio--Meditation, thinking about the passage (like a cow chewing its cud)
  3. Oratio--Prayer, talking with God about the passage and how God wants us to respond
  4. Contemplatio--Contemplation, resting in God's presence
  5. Response--Record thoughts, questions, observations, odd notions, connections, and whatever else, using words, diagrams, drawings, movies, and whatever. Bring these responses to the Collegium.

=============================
THE GATHERING--Trust

Easy for some. Tough for others.

The college group worked at trust this past Tuesday. Results are mixed. This is normal. One thing the group tried was a trust fall/trust lean (see Trust Building Activities). Some of us apparently need baby steps.

Trust is a hard thing. The more your trust has been stomped on, the harder it becomes. Funny how this truth becomes so apparent when faced with something as simple as falling back into someone elses capable arms. What one thinks will be so easy becomes impossible. So what to do? Start smaller maybe? I know one thing that happened is light on the path ahead of us. We now know some things that need to be worked on: trust is one of them.

Shaena made a good call teaching this lesson. There's work to do, but now at least we have light. This is a very good thing.

SERMON NOTES--How To Manage Your Mouth
A LIFE TRANSFORMED BY FAITH
James 3:1-12
Pastor Charlie
April 30, 2006

"We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says,
he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check." (vs. 2)


WHY MANAGE OUR TONGUE
* WE NEED TO MANAGE OUR TONGUE BECAUSE OUR TONGUE DIRECTS WHERE WE GO (vs.3,4).
* WE NEED TO MANAGE OUR TONGUE BECAUSE OUR TONGUE CAN DESTROY WHAT WE HAVE (vs. 5-8). Proverbs 18:20; 21:23
* WE NEED TO MANAGE OUR TONGUE BECAUSE OUR TONGUE DISPLAYS WHO WE ARE (vs.9-12). Matthew 12:33,34; 15:16-20

The real problem – your heart
A person with a harsh tongue has an angry heart.
A person with a negative tongue has a fearful heart.
A person with an overactive tongue has an unsettled heart.
A person with a boasting tongue has an insecure heart.
A person with a filthy tongue has an impure heart.
A person who is critical all the time has a bitter heart.

THE ANSWER TO MANAGING OUR TONGUE
* GET A NEW HEART. Ezekiel 18:31; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 John 1:8, 9

The real solution – a new heart
A person who is always encouraging has a happy heart.
A person who speaks gently has a loving heart.
A person who speaks truthfully has an honest heart.

* ASK GOD FOR HELP EVERY DAY Psalm 141:3; Philippians 4:8
* THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK James 1:19

SERMON NOTES--How To Have Real Faith
A Life Transformed by Faith, Part 7
James 2:14-26
Pastor Charlie
April 23, 2006

Some Salvation Texts: John 3:16, 36; John 5:24; John 6:40; Acts 16:30, 31; Romans 1:16, 17; 3:28; 5:1, 2, 9; 6:23; 9:30-32; Romans 10:4, 9-10; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8, 9; Titus 3:3-8; 1 John 5:11, 12.


REAL FAITH
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU SAY (v. 14).Matthew 7:20, 21
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU FEEL (v. 15, 16). 1 John 3:1
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU THINK (v. 18). 2 Corinthians 5:17
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE (v. 19).

Abraham – Genesis 15:6; 22:1-18
Rahab – Joshua 2:1-21

“Examine yourselves
to see if your faith is really genuine.
Test yourselves.
If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you,
it means you have failed the test”
2 Corinthians 13:5, NLT

Tuesday Gathering: What's in your way?

Last Tuesday Teacher: Shaena

Philippians 1:12-17 esv
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

  • Do the people you work with, play with, go to school with, and live with know that you are a Christian?
  • What kind of picture are they getting of God from your life and your words?
  • Are you standing up and speaking up?
  • What's getting in the way of your standing up and speaking up?

Thanks to Shaena for laying down the challenge!

Homosexuality – What the Bible Says, Part 2
Pastor Charlie
April 2, 2006

Some Key Principles:
1. Innate and Choice

2. Orientation and Practice
James 1:14-15
We all have an orientation to sin.
Orientation is not sin.
We all try to hide our sin.
Because we are all oriented to sin, we should be gracious to others.

3. Acceptance and Rejection
Romans 5:8
John 8:3-11

Key Biblical Texts:
Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18, 21-24
Humanity was created male and female

Genesis 19:1-29
The inhabitants of the condemned cities of Sodom and Gomorrah practiced homosexuality (in vv4-7 the practice is understood as wicked).
This was ONE sin in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Homosexuality is understood as wicked.

Leviticus 18:22; 20:13
Homosexual practice is detestable—it makes God sick.

Romans 1:24-32

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Leviticus 4:13, 14
