Next Core meeting we will be examining the biblical mandate that we see for our core values. The value that we have identified as being number one and really driving the other values for the church is intimacy.
Intimacy is something that we as a culture are trending away from, but we as individuals desperately need. One of our tasks is to discover how we as a body can make intimacy real to our core, and also to the community as a whole. The big caveat in that statement is not only how to maintain intimacy when we are just starting, but how to permeate our church with a culture of intimacy.
The chief scripture passage that comes to mind is that of Acts 2:42-47. The first church in Jerusalem was an intimate church. Our challange as a core group is to determine what principles we can glean from this church, and how we can apply those principles to modern ministry.
This will be the discussion for most of Sunday's meeting!
Later!
