Talking about the cross from a Pentecostal perspective.
 Here are a few resources that may help with my CCT Good Friday talk.
You can find my source for the statistics here.
I have been strongly influenced by recent thinking done by James K A Smith on Pentecostal Epistemology.
You can get his book here
or watch a lecture on the subject here.
My father's story can be found here and my mother's here.
The unedited script for my talk is here.
If you would like to pursue any of the ideas I have raised you should be able to comment below.

The opposite spirit
 This Sunday we were back to talking about the cross and made some small reference to spiritual warfare and the idea of ACTING IN THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT.
I first heard of this idea from Gerald Coates but I believe it might have developed in YWAM with Loren Cunningham, the founder.
Anyway, if you want to know more, here and here are two helpful articles which you can read at leisure.

Awesome cross of power
Its 10.20 on Saturday night. I've got tomorrow's talk as far as I can - just a case of sleeping on it and praying the detail through in the morning.
Here are the bits you might want to follow up the session.
Wordles are a neat way of summarising and analysing text. You can make your own at www.wordle.net
Colossians 2:13-15
1 Corinthians 15:50-57
Here's the song which tells it better than I ever could.
And if you want to see the longer version of the HBO clip of the Roman triumphal procession, including a gory reminder of what happens to defeated enemies...

Awesome cross of freedom and forgiveness
The base from which I am working totay is Ephesians 1:7
For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is our sins are forgiven.
That says it all really but the other ideas come from Colossians 1:19b-23a and Galatians 6:1-5.
Here's the fantastic movie I am showing towards the end.

Here and Now - More than Praying
If genuinely knowing that God is real is a first step to increased God awareness, there has to be more to it than praying or thinking about him--even praying in tongues.
One of the tests that we are really close to Jesus has to be that we are being shaped by his presence. Becoming like him--less grumpy, less anxious, less angry, less full of ourselves. More kingdom now, less over the rainbow.
That's a thought from somebody who has had another week where being really aware of God has been something that has happened only on the odd occasion for a few minutes at most.
I'm not beating myself up about it because he loves me anyway. But I'm sure life would be a whole lot more fulfilling if I learned how to enjoy his company more of the time.
I wonder whether it will be easier to be aware of Jesus on holiday. I'll let you know
Any thoughts so far. |
