CORE GROUPS | FALL 2019 | LETTERS TO CSF

 

This semester’s vision is to imagine what the early writers of the New Testament would have said to our community at CSF if they were writing to us. You may hear funny names like “Paul in the Fall” because we want to imagine what Paul would say to us if he visited CSF on one of his missionary journeys. So as we crack open the passages each week, we want to read with two lenses: How was this intended for the community it was written to? And what does it mean for our community today?

 

The New Testament writers were focused on the goal of building robust Jesus communities whose life together was a form of evangelism. When people from the surrounding culture saw the life of these communities they had to wonder, ‘Who are these people? Where does their peace, their generosity, their unity come from?’ So this fall we want to grow together as a robust Jesus community at UK.

 

For the format, we’ve given you 12 passages of curriculum to choose from, but you’ll only have 10 weeks of curriculum discussion in group. It’s kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure, except you’ll want to choose from the weeks that already have a podcast posted. So really you’ll have about 4 passages to choose from each week.
