Christopher will speak on two topics:

Love & Homosexuality: Affirmation or Obedience?

There is nothing greater than love. How can Christians deny the love between two people?  Does love really demand the affirmation of homosexuality?  Christopher uses personal experience, biblical theology and the entire canon of Scripture to show how true love compels us toward obedience and holiness.

A Christian Response to Homosexuality

There are few issues in our society as volatile and divisive as homosexuality.  This issue has polarized politics, media, schools and even churches.  So how should Christians respond to homosexuality and, more importantly, homosexual people?  Christopher combines his life experiences with his training in Bible and theology to bring a fresh perspective ont his issue.

Here’s Tony’s recap of his small group’s December missional project.  They meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at the Lighthouse Center.

December 22, 2011 Missional Project: Austin, Royce, Jeff, Isaac, Howard, Jason, Gayle, & Tony

Our group decided on a monthly missional project of reaching out to the homeless in Seattle’s

international district. But we wanted to do more than just pass out sandwiches where we would feel good about ourselves and pat ourselves on the back.  We wanted the homeless people we would encounter to know that they were loved and valued. What more could we do to help restore dignity and to let them know that they were a person of worth?  We decided that we would invite them to a sit down dinner, listen to their story, and pray for them.

We met up at a Oasis, a local bubble tea store to discuss the strategy and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us in conversation with people we meet. We broke off into groups of two and three and went started searching for people. After 15-20 minutes we were a bit discouraged because we had only seen a few homeless people that were either already sleeping or unwilling to engage in conversation. At the end of about 30 minutes of walking, we decided to meet and call it a night since it was getting late. As soon as we started walking toward our meeting point, one of our groups met a man who they talked with, listened to his story, shared with him about what our group was doing, bought a meal for him,and prayed over him. After our group dinner, a few of us walked over to the bubble tea shop whereRoyce had run into a woman asking for money and was willing to talk. After a few minutes into the conversation, some other members joined, bought her some food, gave her socks, gloves, and prayed for her. As that was happening, Jeff and I noticed a man sitting in a doorstep of a building bundled up,but awake. We approached him to say hi and he was happy to respond. We asked him his name, and if we could get him any food or water. Jeff asked if we could pray for him. He happily accepted, so we laid hands on him, prayed, and came back with hot food and water.

At the beginning of our meeting we were all excited to talk with people over a meal and to see how God would use us to bless others. We started off slow and soon had thoughts of the night being failure interms of meeting homeless and it not turning out the way we had hoped. In the end, we interacted andserved three different people all within the last half of our evening. It made me realize two things: 1) to be patient in God’s timing in everything that we do 2) to be bold in prayer and in serving others.

The night kicks off with a potluck dinner followed by an interactive Family Feud tournament! We look forward to “feuding” with you all.

Please RSVP to Alan Chan at alankchan@gmail.com and indicate the type of main course or side dish you can bring to share.  Appetizers and drinks will be provided.

We are looking forward to a great night of gaming. Invite your friends and get ready to bring it!

Game on!
