We finished our "Unleashing the Good News" series with this teaching.  For those listening we needed three flip charts for the morning and basically drew the big story of God.  For those of us who grew up with the bridge and the 4 spiritual laws, I call this the new napkin talk.

Growing Up In, With, & Through Truth, Part 2

Download "Growing up in Truth part 2"  As I say at the beginning of this teaching this is basically one continuos thought from Uncensored truth about Truth.  This stuff makes me so thrilled to be in the Jesus movement.  Here is a notes page from the sermon Download Teaching notes growing up part 2.  Have a fabulous week ~ D

Growing Up In, With, & Through Truth

Download "Growing Up in Truth" (There is static in the audio for the first minute. There was a little mic issue but it gets resolved.)  The beginning of this teaching includes words from our students who went on different missions trips this summer with Royal Servants.  I am really proud of them.  They did a great job.

This teaching is really part two from last weeks "Uncensored Truth about Truth".  You need both of these together.  So go listen to part one right now!  I am loving this series and look forward already to next week.  Here is a notes page for those interested Download Teaching Notes.  Peace to you. 

The Uncensored Truth about Truth

Download "Uncensored Truth about Truth"  This teaching from 1 Corinthians 3 is one of those that could shift everything for you.  I heard this passage taught on by Rob Bell at a teaching conference back in January 2004.  I remember not being able to move after he finished because the implications were so dramatic for me.  So nearly six years later, I think I'm just about ready to talk about what the apostle Paul is trying to teach this church in Corinth -- for me it is simply remarkable.  I am attaching the teaching notes we handed out on Sunday which can be downloaded here Teaching Notes September 20th.  This one has taken me years to digest and I think I'll be working out the implications for the rest of my life.  Grace to you ~ D
