David Boan's First Night
Went along and listened to WA bible teacher David Boan's review of his first 5 talks in his discipleship series last night (see posts of 5th and 8th Sept below). Recommended for anyone in striking distance of Melbourne!
The take-home points for me were that bible teachers don't actually teach us anything we don't already know (through the indwelling presence of the Spirit). Rather, the gift of teaching is to help us understand, to know what it is we know! (if that makes sense - if not, ask David himself as we've invited him to join our blog to help us out!)
And "if you need a method to live the Christian life, then you don't know the person (God)" - The "being" comes before the doing. Shades of "Be the Christian you've become" (Major Ian Thomas - see next post!) Jesus graciously says first in Matt 5 "you are the light", before exhorting us to "let your light shine".
David will be talking again at St Luke's Anglican Church, Vermont, continuing on his series on discipleship. Next talk at 7.45 pm on Friday 31st (on righteousness), Saturday 1st Nov at 2.30 pm (holiness), and continuing at 7.45 pm on Monday 3/11, Wed 5/11 and Fri 7/11.
Details from Richard Temby (03) 9874-1360.
