the Big Red Tractor video

vince.marotte@gmail.com — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:38:33 -0800

a cartoon by Francis Chan and crew, about the American church

[update] The original video The Big Red Tractor from Jacob Lewis on Vimeo, has been made private. Another copy of the video can be viewed here.

"The Big Red Tractor" is a children's story that Francis Chan wrote to illustrate the current condition of the Church... I partnered with The Regime and Francis Chan, best-selling author of Crazy Love and teaching pastor at Cornerstone Church, to put together this 7 session study guide for his latest book, "Forgotten God." This DVD curriculum was released in January of 2010 with publishing company, David C Cook.

Dave Gibbons - Saturday Morning | #verge10

vince.marotte@gmail.com — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:08:47 -0800

"Choose to love, it's not about feelings"

"You are called to love your neighbor; someone not like you"

"Jesus only did what he saw his father doing"

"Great vision is birthed out of destruction" - wow! True.

"How many people are coming to your church to be seen and are not being truly seen?"

Three questions:

1 > what's in your hand? - it's not about what you lack

2 > what's your pain? - it's your platform to humanity

3 > who are the fringe? - they lead movements

Amazing Talk by Francis Chan at #Verge10 by Felicity Dale

Neil Cole, Gift Tests, and Verge by Jonathan Dodson

"... The Western approach of testing and measuring everything has its
limits and can intrude on good theology. Take spiritual gifts tests,
for instance. These tests can often pigeon hole people, appeal to
their consumerist longings, and isolate them from community. Organic
church can keep us honest, from over-structuring the church. At least
that’s what Cole said ..."

Detailed notes from Gateway church leaders
