God So Loved the World

Worship this Sunday will be rooted in John 3.1-17.  Read the full text here.

John 3.16 states:  For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

Where have you seen this verse in public?  What feelings does this text bring up for you?  What questions does it engender?

    Interestingly, we talked mostly about Nicodemus and being “born again” not about John 3:16. For some, being “born again” had a negative connotation. For others, it was a reminder that to live fully, we almost have to die everyday and be born again each morning – letting go of the unnecessary, of yesterday. We also decided that being “born again” is not a one time “aha” moment, but a process that acknowledges our capability of messing up and letting us start again. I am thankful for that.

    We also talked about the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. Can we pray for that gift? If we don’t have that gift, are we praying hard enough?

    Join us on Monday nights at Old Soul on Broadway, 8:00 to 9:30 pm for coffee, drinks, discussion and friends. =)
