Leading Life Together

Pete, John and I talk about extra marital affairs. This shouldn't keep from being involved with a church.Pete tells a story about his own life. We break down different versions of dealing with this issue.

Tony, John, Pete and Rudy sit down as we take a break from talking about rules. Tony called us together to discuss the Last Supper. We also talk about the crucifix of Christ and the events leading up to it.We made a pact to watch the Passion of the Christ then get back together and discuss the movie. This comes after Rudy and Pete realize that both John and Tony have not seen the movie and Pete and Rudy both watched it before accepting Jesus in their life.

Rudy and Tony talk about how Church can seem like a family time suck. If people don't have the time to even go check out one service, how would they ever be able to see how easy it is?Its good to check out some different churches online first before spending the time to go and check them out in person.Rudy finishes by saying, "After you find the right place, you will find the time!"

Pete, John and Rudy chat about people that smoke and attend Church. It's not a big deal and folks do not judge this.They all admit to smoking cigars from time to time. Pete tells a story about how he quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey and Rudy said his wife did the same thing. "We don't smoke cigarettes and we are also not looking bad at it."

Craig and Rudy talk about cussing. Is it against the rules of Christ if you swear? Examine your heart when you use harsh language, if it feels bad, then maybe it is. Don't let swearing keep you from going to Church though.What posseses your heart possesses your mind.

Pete leads this discussion with John and I about drinking alcohol after giving your life to Christ. All three of us drink on occasion and attend Church on a regular basis with no judgement by others.

John and I get together to chat about Divorce. How do people feel about attending a church after having a divorce? Isn't the church a place for all, especially those that need help?

John and I get together to chat about our upcoming series of discussions about rules. Do we need to follow rules in order to set foot in church? What if you are divorced? How do you dress? Can you drink alcohol or smoke?

John, Tony, Pete and Rudy discuss the topic of Holiday time. How does your family pray? How do you treat other religious traditions? What about Drinking alcohol or smoking?

John, Tony, Pete and Rudy gather to talk about what they get out of going to church. The question can come up from friends, family or coworkers that do not attend church and they give their own personal answers to this question.

Life groups are a great way to integrate with a church rather than sit back and wonder why you feel like you don't fit in. Rudy describes Life Groups by comparing it to the movie Fight Club. Craig furthers the analogy.Even if you aren't in Church, you need some friends in life to talk about the things that are happening in your families life. Do you have a life group?

Craig sits down and we cover the same questions from episode one with him. These are the questions we all answered:1. Describe yourself. 2. What are some of your favorite hobbies and interests? 3. How did you come to know Christ? 4. Do you have a favorite scripture, person or story from the Bible?Join our Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/167794343816266/
