We are currently in the inviting posture of our time here in Vancouver.
To recap for everyone. We started with listening. How do we listen to God and what is he saying to us individually and as a community? The second posture was Submerge. What does it mean to submerge into a culture as Jesus did? Big questions and good to think through with others and try to live out.
So inviting. The challenge we are working through in life and discussion is what are we invited into with God and just what are we inviting others into with us? Sounds simple right.
Some of the struggles I have with this question is that I should make Christianity appealing to others. The fact of the matter is that living out our faith is not always fun or attractive. It can be down right hard and anything but enjoyable. What is in it for us? Joy or deeper sense of a purpose in life maybe...
One way I interpret God's invitation to us is that he invites us to share in his Glory. Partly here on earth, but the fullest extent at Christ's returning. I will let you know of any new revelations on this one.
