Our first Sunday in our journey of “Eat This Book” where we weren’t out at the lake for a baptism, and it appears we may be onto something.

The “sermon” time was our church this morning was by… everyone. Our goal each week is to read through assigned New Testament books. This week was Acts and 1-2 Thessalonians. To start the sermon I had everyone break down into small groups and gave them some discussion questions. Then, the next part of the “sermon” was me fielding questions on the text. There were great questions. Plus, I didn’t have to answer all the questions! Often, others would jump in and talk about what they had learned.

Here we were taking a huge chunk of text and talking about it. This is something where everyone realizes they need to come prepared for church! We don’t come to be entertained. We come to contribute. 

Our next week’s reading is 1-2 Corinthians and Galatians. Enter the conversation. Here, Facebook, email… let’s talk about it.
