In response to Brian's sermon, “Empty Idols” (1st Corinthians, 8:1-13), Kayden asks Brian "how does someone decide to let a Christian view of reality guide your life? Is there a place for doubt and uncertainty?"

In addition to today’s sermon & discussion, Kayden (our Editor-in-Chief) decided to include Ben's composition based upon the beloved 23rd Psalm, as played by Ben & Dan.

During our weekly discernment process, Kayden & Ben decided to ask Brian to dig in deeper to the three points from his sermon, “the Life the Lord Assigns”, based off of 1st Corinthians 7:17-40; 

1) Participation in and responsibility for God’s missioning - Accepted where every voice is valued. 

2) A life that is open to the continuing illumination of the holy spirit - generates wisdom through conversations. 

3) Life of humble confidence - That's the core wisdom in Paul.

We also read a beautiful benediction from the Irish theologian, Padraig O Tuama, as follows.

The task has ended.

Go in pieces.

Our faith has been rear-ended,

certainty amended,

and something might be mended

that we didn't know was torn. 

And we are fire, bright, burning fire,

turning from the higher places from which we fell,

emptying ourselves into the hell

in which we'll find our loving and beloved brother, 

mother, siter, father, friend.

And so friends, 

the task has ended.

Go in pieces

to see and feel your world.

Our discussion this week focuses on Brian's sermon, “Made Holy”, based on 1st Corinthians 7:1-16. Kayden’s question to Brian this week was “what is a Christian definition of being faithful, and how do we remain faithful to God and each other?” In addition to Kayden's question, we had our first community question that centered on last week's sermon, asking about God's original intent for Creation.
