Highlights from class February 17, 2010

To get the class in to the mind set I was hoping for, we started with a video from Tony Campolo titled It’s Friday but Sunday’s coming.It\’s Friday but Sunday\’s Coming!

After viewing the video, we began discussing the following two questions:

1) Would you live differently if you knew today was the day of the 2nd coming?

2) If so, do we need to make adjustments in our lives now?

This got the class to reflect on how we are each living our lives now. And as to whether we are living Christ like lives.

We then viewed a video by Francis Chan, a minister at Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, CA.

Jesus: More than a Savior

Discussion ensued regarding if we view Jesus as a role model and if so, are we following in his footsteps?

Training for the Christian Life

1) Deny yourself many things in order to do your best. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

2) Put all your energies toward winning the race. Philippians 3:13,14

3) Spiritual exercise will help you grow in faith and character. 1 Timothy 4:7-10

4) Fighting long and hard without giving up. 2 Timothy 4:7,8

Know Christ, be like Christ and be all Christ has in mind for you. We need to develop our faith using abilities God has given us. It’s all worth it in the end.

Class concluded with a second video from Francis Chan that we’ll follow up on the 24th.
