hey jude: beware the creeps!

hey gang - thanks for sticking it out with me online

i thought we'd take a bit of a different track this week and maybe begin by interpreting some of the series artwork [which appears on the screens and in the draft]

#1 what images stick out at you through the artwork? are there recognizeable shapes/pictures of peoples/things? what impressions do you get from the artpieces overall?

#2 how do you feel like the artwork contributes to the themes of the book of jude? is it possible we are being taught something via that artwork? knowing that i put it together, what do you think i was trying to communicate through these images?

#3 let's talk about false teachers - what kinds of false teachers have you personally been exposed to? have there been painful encounters of this sort in the past for you? have you ever felt like maybe you were momentarily guilty of being a false teacher? what did you do to recover from that?

#4 in addition to the kinds of heresy we talked about on the weekend, what heresies do you think are common in our world today? do you think westwinds is particularly susceptible to these kinds of teaching? what could we do to be better protected against un-truth in our church?

ok - thanks everyone - we'll talk to you soon!
