Title: Rabbit's Dinner (About the Controversy)
Contents
Just as a professor writes a thesis, like a professor who puts his philosophy in the thesis and puts life into it.. I prepare a sermon and prepare a game..
Those of you who have ever coordinated a game or played it in front of a congregation will know that the games I presented at Jesus Village Church this time are not just weaving games. Just as a professor goes through a lot of trial and error and a long time of worry and discussion to complete a thesis... As I am in front of criticism, my game must be like that too ^^).
I am going to write a few words about the spiritual principles I discovered through the game in connection with today's Meditation on the Word.
The reason I was thinking about the game is simple. When I was a kid, church was the most fun, new and fresh place. However, 20 and 30 years later, the present church is giving the world the freshness and shock of that time. It has meaning and spirituality, but it is not fun at all, so I saw children and young people having a hard time adjusting to the church. A great sermon is often compared (in sermons) to the delicious dishes of a skillful chef. Like that, the program of the church could not be like delicious food.. It started with a thought about whether it would be possible to discover the inspiration and insight while playing with the graces received from the sermon.
Yesterday, I think you realized that just being with one person gives you strength. First of all, the group with a small number of people started to lose strength. The captain is full of motivation, but there are times when the members are frustrated because they do not follow the leader. ). Your participation is so important. Not only in play, but in all community activities. Come and join us. Together we can overcome any challenge with ease. The Lord died alone, but He gave us the Church. Nothing is impossible when we are together.
Let's talk about the rabbit's dinner. First of all, I would like to apologize for the fact that there are people who have diarrhea through the dinner of rabbits, and there are members who have vomited. The intention of the game is to find out how the team members sacrifice, participate, and work together to overcome the task of eating unpleasant food when they are given an unfamiliar task. One group saw that the crew first ate the food they could eat first, and then suffered from the hard-to-eat food. Some groups gather their wisdom to eat the hard-to-eat food first, and then enjoy the later. Some groups eat a combination of hard-to-eat and edible foods. A certain butler said that he had never eaten boiled onions before, but said that he ate half an onion raw for the first time in his life...
The cross of the Lord is like a rabbit's supper to us. I don't want to eat and I can't eat, but I have to While praying hard in the Garden of Gethsemane, if you can do it, you are so reluctant to ask for this cup to be taken from me. A raw onion is a cup of pain that cannot be compared with a raw eggplant. Then, it is not the rejection I feel in front of these foods that are also provided for pleasure, but in our daily life, when God provides you with a rabbit dinner for our spiritual benefit and the survival of the community. That is, people who cannot afford it When you spend, throw yourself into a terrible environment that you don't want to experience (largely Afghanistan, personally more diverse..), and meet a hard-nosed leader like me who makes people tired... We are like a rabbit's banquet. will react. Complain, deviate, give up, or work together to solve...
Together, everything can be fun, and together, everything can be solved. Let's be with the church community of the Lord, which He bought with the price of blood. As a community of vines, if there are people who complain, we encourage them, if there are people who can't eat, eat them instead, and if there are people who leave, let's participate and overcome them together.
Games can all be enjoyable the moment you understand the purpose of participating in them. In the same way, in the incomprehensible and incomprehensible events and situations that occur on this earth, when you realize what God's heart is and what God has allowed these situations, people, and circumstances for in the Word and exhortation, all It can be fun, it can be a memory, it can be a mission that can be overcome.
This morning's Proverbs (24:1-22) is also full of unfamiliar counsel for us. True wisdom is about the fear of the Lord, why He makes us walk such a difficult life path, whether he has allowed a community of churches to be together in the midst of such difficulties, and how to live wisely with that community so that we can live joyfully and joyfully. He is speaking (the content is long, so please come to the morning prayer and listen to it in detail..).
