OVERFLOW


A group of guys and gals (college age and just older) have been meeting at my house on Sunday nights to study Concise Theology by J.I. Packer. Our goal is to study theology for living it out and teaching others. We live in a pretty shallow world and hopefully God will stir in our hearts and enable us to grow deep and at the same time be real.

We are going to do a gathering once a month (or so) that will be overflow from our discussions as we work through Packer's book. We have decided to call this [monthly] gathering OVERFLOW for obvious reasons. I hope it will be a blessing to the group as we all learn to grapple with Theology and even teach it in a meaningful way although none of us completely understand God. We are convinced that He is knowable and wants us to know Him and make Him known...and so we try and trust Him. Zeal Ministries [Mark Goodson and others] will be coordinating these gatherings and offering mission and service opportunities that highlight the topic of theology we are teaching. Also, Aaron Cousino, Brook Landry, Molly Bergeron, Christy Charrier, and Thomas Bowen, who are involved in the study, will be leading in worship with music that uplifts our topic. 

Pray that God would use this gathering...and you are welcome to come if you would like (provided you are reading this before January 31st @ 7PM). We will meet in ROOM 122 (New Covenant Baptist Church, Denham Springs).
