Update - January 26

Hi all,

Wednesday's meeting was another interesting installment on Philippians with Amy facilitating the discussion. We read the 3rd chapter and discussed these questions:

-Are there present-day enemies of our faith? If so, who?
-What might we be tempted to boast about?
-How does our righteousness come from Christ?
-Am I having trouble leaving anything behind as I move towards the goal God has set before me?
-How does following Christ impact my life?
-Do you know a leader who imitates Christ to the point that you might feel comfortable imitating him/her?

Questions to think about this week:
-What seems like common sense in this chapter?
-What seems impossible in this chapter?
-How do these verses relate to life today?
-Do you disagree with Paul at this point? If so, why?
-What is confusing about these verses, if anything?
-According to these verses, what does "following Jesus" look like?

Next Wednesday night Amy will conclude her study of Philippians. Please read chapter 4 in preparation. I believe Amy has some very interesting questions and possibly answers/facts that will make you go hmmm. Come check it out!

Upcoming Event:
Thursday, February 15 @ 7 pm = Join John Hayes, the founder and director of InnerCHANGE, as he signs copies of his just-published book, sub-merge: Living Deep in a Shallow World, and recounts his journey of service, justice and contemplation among the world’s poor. Discover how building authentic faith-based relationships is changing the world one person at a time. Although this is an open event which everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, your RSVP with the church office would be helpful.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Yours, Rachel
