MY PRAYER FOR TFB COLLEGE

I pray that we would know the story of God for what it is—God's glorious work through all of time, bringing everything into conformity to his will—and would be honest about the story of ourselves—that we are messy people learning to follow Jesus.

I pray that we would be the people of God—members of Christ's body and members with all Christ-followers (even those who do not seem to be as spiritual as we are). I pray that we would be connected with the believers at TFB, actively participating in the life of our local congregation.

I pray that we would expand the kingdom, not only by telling others about Jesus, but also by taking a hard look at our lifestyle choices, by being broken by our own worldly conformity, and by deciding to live lives that point to Jesus.

=============================
SUNDAY COLLEGIUM--TFB Constitution

Sunday, December 17, 2006, the Collegium began a biblical, theological, and practical discussion of the Torrance First Baptist Constitution.

We are on a journey as fellow travelers.
Some of us have been journeying a long time and know more.
Others are new to the journey and have fresh eyes and fresh wonder.
Yet we are fellow travelers.
All have a voice.

So,

Live intentionally.
Look for the fingerprints of God.
Wonder.
Think.
Ask questions.

Bring your gathered bits to the Sunday Collegium, 11 AM in the college room.

=============================
SERMON NOTES: Let God Handle It
Luke 8:41-48
Pastor Rog

1. Give all the spiritual weights to Jesus; you cannot handle them.
2. Jesus is genuinely concerned; have faith.
3. it is the object of faith (Jesus) that has the power, not the faith itself.
