For three Sundays leading up to Lent (Jan. 31, Feb. 7 & 14) we will be watching a video titled “Hashing It Out”.   Two prominent Christian writers and speakers, Tony Campolo and Steve Brown, sit down together at a diner and have a discussion (and agree to disagree) over some controversial subjects.   Topics include: ‘Is Capital Punishment Right?’, ‘Would Jesus Join the Environmental Movement?’, ‘Should a Christian Break the Law if Their Conscience Tells Them To?’, Is Patriotism Idolatry?’, ‘Should Christians Support Gun Control?’, and ‘Do People Have a Right to Medical Care?’

While both Campolo and Brown come to the table on these subjects from different political views, both approach the issues from a purely Christian perspective.  After we hear their discussion, we’ll have our own discussion about the same subjects, not from a political viewpoint, but from a Christian way of seeing things.

Come and learn and enjoy!

 

Ten Commandments

 For the Sundays during the Season of Lent (Feb. 21- March 28) we will engage in a study and discussion of the Ten Commandments.   

“Been there, done that” you say? “Oh, I already know them”, you’re thinking?  Not so fast.   While most of us think we know what they say and what they are all about, we often forget that Jesus said he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it.   What does that mean in conjunction with our understanding of the laws of God?   How might these decrees of God, when looked at in the light of Christ, have more meaning in our life?  Are they possible to keep and if not, why even bother with them?

“Come and see” as the apostle Philip once said to a skeptic.
