So, a lot has been going on since the last time I wrote, In regards to the Missional conversation. I have attended 3 different courses 2 MTN days and Theologue which is the COG continual education/ pastoral discussion/ what we thinking about today. Anyway, Theolgue was about the Missional mandate for the Bible rather than a Biblical mandate for missions. When we view scripture we can see a Biblical mandates for particular issues, for instance the Bible has things to say about marriage or productivity or raising kids, however we wouldn’t say there is a marriage mandate for the Bible etc. However, at its source the bible is about Gods redemptive mission in the world. It is the story of God working, the Bible itself is a Testament to this, there is the Great Communication (Scriptures) along with the Great Commission. So we spent the time pouring over God story of mission.
The past 2 MTN’s have been challenging as well. One about creating authentic community around common cause and purpose rather than just care or accountability. The other was about radical stewardship. Both sessions had caused their fair share of the Spirits conviction upon my life. So I figured it would be wise to spread that conviction to everyone I care about. So over the next couple inputs we will discuss some of these topics.
