Spiritual Practices Notes from August 3, 2008

On Sunday, August 3, I preached a message on spiritual practices that help us learn to live like Jesus. I borrowed heavily from Brian McLaren's work Finding Our Way Again (see link to left) and have some pretty long lists. I promised to put a copy of my message notes on-line for those who couldn't write fast enough to capture them all. Click here for my teaching notes.

Professor Ben C. Ollenburger to speak @ MMC

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to
the LORD, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is
exalted. (Isaiah 12:3)
The LORD God, the Holy One of Israel, provides water from the wells of salvation! Lessons from
Isaiah are being prepared for our small groups, and on August 17, Professor Ben C. Ollenburger
from Mennonite Seminary in Elkhart, IN will preach from Isaiah on the role the LORD has given to
God’s chosen, servant community, which God has formed. He will be speaking and answering
questions also during the Sunday school hour. In preparation, look through Isaiah and read in
chapters 40-55. Prof. Ollenburger’s wife Janice will be with him. Isaiah is important for
understanding Jesus’ ministry; come and invite others to this opportunity for learning and worship.
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid, for the LORD God is my strength and my
might; he has become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)
