I am doing my practicum at Exit 59 church in gas city and Ty Konopinski is the leader of the group. It is called post script (we talk over the sermon and the passage and talk about life and stuff).
Anyway, this past sunday was my first time ever going to it and it ended up being really cool. There were 5 or 6 guys there and 3 girls that were from taylor. We talked over the sermon, which was over 1 Timothy 1:18 - 2:7. We talked a lot about 2:1-2 that read, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." We talked about that in regards to how we had a new president on his way into office and how regardless of anything we need to pray for him and our government, especially if we dont like it.
But other than that we talked a lot about life, and where we are going in life. Darren Campbell, the pastor at the church, talked about the next year for the church and what was going to be happening. He also talked about some church planting that is going to be happening in chicago. When he was talking about that, i was feeling God say that he wanted at least part of my life to be church planting in the inner city. I told this to the group because we talked about how people were feeling after the sermon.
I am looking forward to this semester attending this class, everyone is very open with talking about what they think, and thats how we learn.

ReplyDeleteYour class seems to be pretty cool. They not only talked about topics in the Bible but talked about life, so your class is both personal and informative. With that atmosphere, it seems as if the members of the group can grow together on multiple levels and form lasting friendships.
ReplyDeleteyour topic for your class was very relevant. I know a lot of people, especially Christians, who are upset about the new president because they do not share his stance on issues like abortion and war. as a result, this was very important to cover.
