Some of the Scripture is about finding a way to humility. Ash Wednesday we got a taste of that.

“What God may be waiting for is a faith response on our part.”

Sometimes we need to have these conversations on God’s timetable than our own.

Exodus 2:23-25; 32:1-6

A member comes from a faith tradition that doesn't allow for female clergy, so they're asking whether there should be pastors who are women or not. Jordan and Amanda talk about female preaching and leadership in the Bible, their journeys to get to where they are now, and some of the road bumps they've run into.

Oh, and if you're looking for the Instagram picture we're talking about, it's here.

Andy, Ken, and Ben are divided on the nature of bad churches and whether they can still do good, which leads to Andy coming out against the Bible (not really. Or does he?), and Ken announcing that First Methodist is going to war. There are some stirring pronouncements about the spiritual character of Houston, and at the end of it all, we try and buy Andy a yacht.

We need to learn to see then things inside ourselves that we need to take action about. In Corinthians, Paul shows us how.

These verses are about a church struggling and doing everything wrong. Paul writes back to help show them a way through:

The Holy Spirit is there to help us see things inside ourselves that we need to take action on, ways we need to change.

If we keep coming and praying and listening and don’t change? That’s wrong.

1 Corinthians 2:6-11

Amanda Sermon

Hard problems that don’t have easy answers require that we work together.

Amanda talks about a scripture she loves - Acts 2, “the church in a snow globe.” People come in and they grow and they grow, and other people see what’s happening and want to come and be a part of it.

Life inside the church can be more complicated today. We want clear, concise answers, but we live inside a life that’s a little gray.

Hard problems that don’t have easy answers require that we work together, but they lead us to great places. When we have to work together we learn to love one another.

Acts 2:38-47

The group takes a question about why the church has embraced the Sinner's Prayer when it never appears in the Bible, leading to a brief history of revivals and the Sinner's Prayer, plus the questionable theology we keep running into, and figuring out just what our role is in bringing people to Christ.

Andy is working on his evangelism - trying to be a person who is always on the lookout to make connections.

It’s a hard time to meet people. But people are more hungry than they’ve ever been.

God is trying to wake us up, to recreate us. We are called to love people just as He loves us.

“Ask yourself a question: Do I love my friends, my spouse, my neighbor the way that God loves me? And if not, I need to close that gap.”

2 Corinthians 3:12-18
