e/Gathering - The Conversation

Who are those guys?

The followers closest to Jesus were known as his Apostles. But Jesus did it all wrong, according to the Jewish faith. These men were not supposed to be Apostles. They didn’t make the cut. These are common men or uncommon faith. Who were these men? What do  we know about the twelve? What did it look like to become an Apostle to a first century Rabbi? Rick and Todd talk about who these me were and what we can know about them from the Bible and other sources.

Have you ever heard or read a Bible story and thought, “Wait, that doesn’t make sense. There must be more to it.” There are several of those for us. Peter, James, and John just drop everything, close their lives business, and follow Jesus because he walks by and says, “follow me”. Well, you need to read the rest of the story in Luke and John. We talk about these and other examples (NOT ALL). If you have some we miss let us know. 

If God is Loving how could he allow evil to exist? Why do awful things happen to good people who love and follow God? How do evil people keep getting ahead? These questions are the most often asked questions about God. At the root of it all is that people expect God to stop the bad and only allow the good.

One of the ways you can tell that humans find value in something is the number of names that we use for it. Think of money, cash, Benjamins, cabbage, dinero… you get the idea.  God is one of those things we have many names for. This week the conversation walks through many of those names and why they exist. Are any of them magic or are they powerful because of how powerfully they bring a moment?

oin us for a conversation about what we have found.

What do Christians believe? That can be pretty tough to narrow down when you consider that for the first 2000 years they have been arguing about that. But if we look back at the early Church we can find some core things that the early leaders did agree on. The creeds were a way for them to say to the world what was important. Join us for a conversation about what we have found.
