Total Church 2.0 Conference: I Will Build My Church

When: November 17-19, 2009
Where: 777 West Felicita Ave, Escondido, CA 92025
What: Agenda
Cost: TBD (between $119 to $149)
Contact: leah@kaleochurch.com

This is our second Total Church Conference and will take much of what we discussed last year and move forward what it looks like to live in Jesus community on Jesus mission motived by the Gospel of Jesus Kingdom.

Escondido is only 20 minutes north of San Diego and the conference will be held at Infusion, an Acts 29 Church. Kaleo Church is coordinating this conference along with other A29 churches that will help host it. Please check back for more information including final cost (between $119 to $149) and limit of attendees. We’ll also post a registration link next week.

The conference format will foster greater discussion and participation from all who come to participate. Each day we’ll have several groups that we’ll break into in order to think through the implications of the sessions. Then we’ll take the findings of each group and discuss them together with the session speakers who will interact with their ideas. This is an ideal conference for those wanting to guide their church into a more community oriented mission. It will also greatly help new or potential church planters as well as leaders, thinkers and congregates that are interested in living more intentionally for mission as they are empowered by the Gospel of God’s scandalous grace. Jesus is the central figure of this conference and we’ll be discussing his life, work, teaching, purpose, plan and power for the transformation of His glorious bride, the Church. Continue…

Depeche Mode- John the Revelator

One of my favorite bands growing up as a young impressionable knucklehead was Depeche Mode. I was absolutely fascinated with their lyrics as well as their dark but danceable synth-pop beats. Even as a non-Christian I always wondered what the deal was with their seeming hatred for the Christian God. I didn’t pay it much mind since I was an atheist at the time and agreed with much of their anger towards this God or any gods for that matter. Needless to say, things have certainly changed on my end, but it seems as if our dear friends from across the pond still have their knickers in a twist over God, Jesus, the Bible and, in their latest album, the Apostle John. I thought I’d share their lyrics to give you a bit of perspective on what they preach, what they evangelize the masses with. Unfortunately, they are able to proselytize their position much more effectively than we often do because they have millions of followers who for two decades have soaked in everything DM spits out. As you will soon find out, they are not all that shy about their religious convictions. Now think of the masses humming this at work, listening in their car, and packing a stadium (though perhaps a bit smaller than in the past) and singing this along with them. Continue…

Easter

The sorrow and disappointment of the disciples

The tomb was sealed. A massive stone was rolled in front of it, and no one was allowed in or out. In this tomb, on a stone slab, laid Jesus’ body— broken, beaten, and utterly crushed to a point of only minimal recognition. There was no counsel to convene to determine whether or not this man Jesus was truly dead. The Roman soldiers, skilled in the art of death, ensured Christ’s demise to their satisfaction when they plunged a Roman spear into the side of Jesus’ chest, only to find that He had already expired. You see, it was their life if they failed to take that of their convicted subjects. Continue…
