JCX Tuesday 11/10/09

So what is the difference was our focus Tuesday night @JCX. Here are the details:

-We spent most of the night walking through (literally) each of the belief systems that are around us and popular today.
-Each walk was a description, from that belief systems writings, what they believe about God, Jesus, salvation, faith and eternity.
-After our walk, the teaching focused on “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God”. We learned that it’s not our job to say “we’re right” and “you’re wrong” but that we are on “both sides”. Jesus came to quench the thirst of the soul, not argue which belief system is right. He quenches that thirst with the truth of who he is and what he does. We learned that he affirms the thirst we have and came to give it living water and keep us from filling it with all sorts of beliefs that lead to more thirst. We are the peacemakers who, b/c God met us in our badness; we meet others in theirs and speak about the one who satisfies our souls.
-Afterwards, we celebrated three of our peeps getting baptized. Here’s photos of the fun:
